ORDER 

On December 11, 1995, the court entered an order referring this matter to a Special Master 

and directing that the Special Master’s fees and expenses be borne by the defendants as part of the 

costs of this action. A significant amount of work remains to be done by the Special Master and 

additional funds are required to pay his fees and expenses.

the Court a one hundred and fiftieth interim payment of costs in the amount of 

$3,000,000.00, which amount shall be invested in the interest-bearing account previously opened 

for this action; and
