DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Antitrust Division


Proposed Termination of Final Judgment; Bardahl Manufacturing 
Corporation, et al.

    Notice is hereby given that defendant Bardahl Manufacturing 
Corporation (``Bardahl'') has filed with the United States District 
Court for the Western District of Washington a motion to terminate the 
Final Judgment in United States v. Bardahl Manufacturing Corporation, 
et al., Civil No. 83-71; and that the Department of Justice 
(``Department''), in a stipulation also filed with the Court, has 
consented to termination of the Final Judgment but has reserved the 
right for at least seventy (70) days after the publication of the 
notice to withdraw its consent. The complaint in this case (filed June 
30, 1969) alleged that Bardahl and other companies affiliated with 
Bardahl had conspired to fix uniform prices and allocate exclusive 
geographical sales territories for the sale of motor oils, greases and 
lubricants manufactured by Bardahl and sold by Bardahl distributors in 
the United States.
    The Final Judgment (entered August 11, 1969) enjoined the 
defendants from selling any finished Bardahl products to any person 
upon any conditions which restrict the persons to whom, the prices at 
which, or the territory within which such products may be sold.
    The Department has filed with the court a memorandum setting forth 
the reasons why the Government believes that termination of the Final 
Judgment would serve the public interest. Copies of the Complaint and 
Final Judgment, Bardahl's motion papers, the stipulation containing the 
Governemnt's consent, the Government's memorandum, and all further 
papers filed with the court in connection with this motion will be 
available for inspection at Room 10-437, Antitrust Division, Department 
of Justice, 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20001, and at the Office of the Clerk of the United States District 
Court for the Western District of Washington, 1010 Fifth Avenue, Room 
215, Seattle, Washington 98104. Copies of any of these materials may be 
obtained from the Antitrust Division upon request and payment of the 
copying fee set by Department of Justice regulations.
    Interested persons may submit comments regarding the proposed 
termination of the decree to the Government. Such comments must be 
received by the Division within sixty (60) days and will be filed with 
the court by the Government. Comments should be addressed to Christoper
