stock of ARUP Alu-Rohr und Profil GmbH ("ARUP") from Helmut
Lingemann GmbH & Co. by respondent, and the respondent having
been furnished thereafter with a copy of a draft of Complaint
that the Bureau of Competition presented to the Commission for
its consideration and which, if issued by the Commission, would
charge respondent with violations of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the Federal
Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45; and

having thereafter executed an Agreement containing a Consent
Order, an admission by respondent 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 respondent 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
respondent has violated the said Acts, 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,
and having duly considered the comment received, now in further
conformity with the procedure described in § 2.34 of its Rules,
