PER CURIAM.

This appeal was considered on the record before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and on the briefs of counsel and oral argument before this court.

For substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its memorandum and order, see Hat Ranch, Inc., et al. v. Babbitt, et al., 932 F.Supp. 1 (D.D.C.1995), it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED by this court that the judgment of the district court be affirmed.
