- discussing the Grant Act in determining whether a research grant constitutes a contract under the Defense Base Act

## Opinion text

OAKES, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I concur in that part of the majority opinion finding that “public work,” as defined under the DBA, must have either a defense or construction nexus. . But, since that part of the opinion relating to whether a grant may be a contract is wholly unnecessary to the result here, I decline to join in it.
