DECISION AND ORDER
The Federal Trade Commission having initiated an investigation of
certain acts and practices of the respondents named in the caption
hereof, and the respondents having been furnished thereafter with a
copy of a draft of complaint which the San Francisco Regional Office
proposed to present to the Commission for its consideration and which,
if issued by the Commission, would charge respondents with violation
of the Federal Trade Commission Act; and
The respondents, their attorney, and counsel for the Commission having
thereafter executed an agreement containing a consent order, an
admission by the respondents of all the jurisdictional facts set forth
in the aforesaid draft of complaint, a statement that the signing of
said agreement is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute
an admission by respondents that the law has been violated as alleged
in such complaint, or that the facts as alleged in such complaint,
other than jurisdictional facts, are true and waivers and other
provisions as required by the Commission's Rules; and
The Commission having thereafter considered the matter and having
determined that it had reason to believe that the respondents have
violated the said Act, and that a complaint should issue stating its
charges in that respect, and having thereupon accepted the executed
consent agreement and placed such agreement on the public record for a
period of sixty (60) days, now in further conformity with the
procedure prescribed in § 2.34 of its Rules, the Commission hereby
