   Before  Board Judges  LaBELLA, Acting  Chief  Judge, DEVINE,  and

   BORWICK, Board Judge.
 
        On January 17, 1992, appellant, TS Infosystems, Incorporated
   reinstated its appeal  against respondent Department of  Commerce
   on  the grounds  that  respondent had  not  fully implemented  an
   interim  settlement  agreement  involving TS  Infosystems'  claim
   against  it.    The contract  was  for  research and  development
   services and support to the Program for Regional  Observation and
   Forecasting Services.  
 
        The original appeal involved a claim based upon respondent's
   alleged  failure to  pay indirect  costs  due appellant;  alleged
   failure of respondent to pay  costs due to partial termination of
   the contract; respondent's  alleged luring of employees  from the
   appellant  to  work  for  one  of  appellant's  competitors;  and
   respondent's alleged failure  to exercise an option  based solely
   on  appellant's  filing  for  relief  under  Chapter  11  of  the
   bankruptcy code.  
 
        The  parties have  entered into  a final  settlement of  the
   matter  by agreeing  to  respondent's  payment  to  appellant  of
   $213,193.58,  including  interest  as  allowed  by  the  Contract
   Disputes  Act on the sum of  $96,793 from November 1, 1992, until
   paid.  The parties have  requested that the Board incorporate the
   settlement by decision.  See Rule 36(e).
 
 
                                Decision
 
        In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the Board
   adopts the stipulation by decision  and awards appellant the  sum
   of  $213,193.58, including  interest  pursuant  to  the  Contract
   Disputes Act on $96,793 from November 1, 1992, until paid.
