SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on August

California. 62 F.R. 44290. The respondents named in the investigation
are ECI Telecom, Ltd, of Petah Tikva, Israel and ECI Telecom, Inc. of
Altamonte Springs, Florida (collectively, ECI). Raychem's complaint
alleged that ECI was importing and selling within the United States

On January 30, 1998, complainant and respondents to the
investigation filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation as to
all issues based upon a settlement agreement. The presiding ALJ issued
an ID granting the joint motion on February 10, 1998. He stated that
termination based on settlement is generally in the public interest and
found no indication that termination of this investigation would have
an adverse impact on the public interest. No petitions for review were
filed.
