           PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE COURT'S
                        MAY 9, 2000, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

       The United States, pursuant to D. Kan. Rule 7.3, moves the Court for clarification of Part

Demand ("CID") materials, the American Society of Travel Agents ("ASTA"), while unwilling to

file for a protective order, has refused to consent to the disclosure of certain CID materials to

American.  Because it is unclear whether ASTA's refusal to file for a protective order constitutes

consent to the disclosure of its CID materials to American, and because Plaintiff's review of these

CID materials solely to comply with the May 9 Order does not constitute "use" sufficient to

override the prohibitions of the CID statute, Plaintiff is in the awkward position of having in its

possession certain CID materials that are the subject of the Court's May 9 Order but that Plaintiff

is statutorily prohibited from disclosing to American.



PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION -- 1

Motion, Plaintiff files its accompanying Memorandum and the Declarations of Rebekah J. French

and Burton J. Rubin.
