## Opinion text

THOMAS A. CLARK, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
As a member of the original panel, I dissented from that part of the majority opinion treating the Doyle issue because I believed the district court was correct in *128 holding that the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. I continue in that belief and readopt my dissent which accompanied the panel opinion at 663 F.2d 564 .
