## Opinion text

BORK, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I concur in Judge MacKinnon’s incisive and thorough opinion in almost all respects. Since decision of this case does not require it, however, I have not studied the Board’s past conduct in the detail necessary either to agree or disagree with his strong criticism of the Board. That is not to say that I do not think some criticism warranted. An agency with nationwide jurisdiction is not required to conform to every interpretation given a statute by a court of appeals. In this case, however, the Board appears less to have been seeking reconsideration of a legal issue than trying to achieve a desired result by a somewhat disingenuous treatment of the facts.
