Opinion of the Court

DARDEN, Judge:

For the reason set forth in United States v Wright, 18 USCMA 348, 40 CMR 60, we here find no fault in the president’s instructions on sentencing as to matters that “logically” lend themselves to either the adjudging of a more severe sentence or a more lenient one.

We affirm the decision, of the board of review.

Chief Judge Quinn concurs.
