Plaintiff, the United States of America, hereby certifies that, in compliance with the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 16(b)-(h) (the "APPA"), the following procedures have been followed in preparation for entry of a final judgment herein:

1. A proposed Final Judgment, and a Stipulation and Order by which the parties have agreed to the Court's entry of the proposed Final Judgment following compliance with the APPA, and a Competitive Impact Statement were filed with the Court in this matter on March 31, 1998.

2. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), the Stipulation, proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement were published in the Federal Register on April 13, 1998, Volume 63, at pages 18036 through 18048.

3. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), copies of the Stipulation, proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement were furnished to all persons requesting them.

4. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), a summary of the terms of the proposed Final Judgment and the Competitive Impact Statement were published in the Washington Post, a newspaper of general circulation in the District of Columbia, during the period April 7 through April 13, 1998.
