JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM.

This cause came on to be heard on the record on appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and was briefed and argued by counsel. The issues presented have been accorded full consideration by the court; they occasion no need for an opinion. See D.C.Cir. Rule 13(c).

This court is in agreement with the result reached by the District Court in this case, generally for the reasons stated in its Memorandum Opinion filed July 2, 1982. See Joint Appendix at 15-24.

On consideration of the foregoing, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED by this court that the judgment of the District Court appealed from in this cause is hereby affirmed.

*

It is FURTHER ORDERED by this court, sua sponte, that the Clerk shall withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir. Rule 14, as amended November 30, 1981 and June 25, 1982.

Circuit Judge WALD files the attached concurring statement.

After hearing oral argument, the court asked the parties to submit briefs addressing the question whether the Resolution adopted by the Joint Committee on Printing on May 11, 1982 violated separation of powers doctrine. Having considered these briefs, the court is of the view that we should not attempt to decide that question on this record, particularly since none of the parties has raised it.
