                 Appellant



       BEFORE:       Edwards, Chief Judge; Silberman*, Williams, Ginsburg,
                     Sentelle, Henderson*, Randolph, Rogers, Tatel and
                     Garland*, Circuit Judges

                                   ---------

     In view of the exceptional importance of these cases and the fact that the
number of judges of this court disqualified from participation as a practical
possibility precludes any en banc rehearing of a panel decision, it is

     ORDERED, sua sponte, by the en banc court that these cases and all motions
and petitions filed in these cases be heard by the court sitting en banc.
Parties shall hereafter file an original and nineteen copies of all pleadings
and briefs submitted.

                                  Per Curiam
                                  ----------

                                                FOR THE COURT:

                                                /s/ Mark J. Langer

                                                Mark J. Langer, Clerk

     *Circuit Judges Silberman, Henderson, and Garland took no part in the
consideration and issuance of this order, and they will take no part in any
future consideration of matters before the court involving these cases.
