The opinion

DAVIS, Judge

(concurring):

Newport News, which I consider now binding on me, settled the issue of whether the ASPR guidelines were required to be followed even though neither party invoked them before the Board. That being so, I agree with the court, for the reasons it gives, that those regulations apply to this case as well, and on that basis I join in the disposition requiring them to be applied here.
