The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on 
March 20, 1998, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared in order to 
present testimony and argument on the complaint. 

	At an informal conference prior to the March 20, 1998 hearing, the complainant 
and the respondents reached the terms of an agreement in resolution of this contested 
case. The parties agreed that the respondents would provide the requested staff notes, if 
any existed, to the complainant, but with redactions of any portions of said notes that 
would disclose the scoring key. Based upon the implementation of this agreement, the 
complainant informed the Commission on May 21, 1998 that he wished to withdraw his 
complaint.

	The Commission warmly commends both the complainant and the respondents 
for working successfully to negotiate a non-litigated settlement of their earlier 
differences.

	The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of 
the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:

	1.  The complaint is hereby dismissed.

	Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular 
meeting of July 8, 1998.
