Action No. CV-07-825, was lodged with the United States District Court 
for the Eastern District of New York.
    The proposed Consent Judgment will settle the United States' claims 
on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') brought 
against defendants AGI-VR/Wesson Co., Alloy Carbide Company, Chi Mei
