         Re:  Frank L. Black, Jr,., Inc. v. United .States
   -Court of Claims Vo. 183-79 C
              (Your reference-SPSpoolert3Ow, 154-183-79 C)

    Dear Ms. Daniel:

         we are responding to the letter of October 18, 1979,
    requesting our comments and recomMendations on the offer
    of the plaintiff to settle the above ease. We have been
    asked to consider both the law and the equities involved.

         As you know, ur decis. in this matter concluded
    that Black was not    titlea V relief from a mistake in
    bid alleged after award under the equitable remedy of
    re formation. The decision considered and rejected
    Black's contention that the contract was unenforceable
    or unconscionable. Frank Black, Jr., In9., B-191647
    June 26, 1978, 78-1 CPD 463.

         For the most part, Black's support for its
    compromise offer is only a repetition of the arguments
    we rejected in our decision. Our decision was based on
    well-established legal and regulatory standards applying
    case law, including that of the Court of Claims. We see
    little chance of Black :prevailing on the merits. Because
    of this, we believe that the 'equities mentioned by
    Black are of little consequence.
