PHILLIPS, Chief Judge
(concurring).
It is my opinion that the acceptance of the work, not only by the project engineer, hut by the regional construction adviser, the regional attorney, the regional labor relations adviser and the assistant director of Region VIII was a condition precedent, and had to be obtained to render the obligation to pay the balance of the fixed fee fixed and absolute. See 9 Am.Jur., Building and Construction Contracts, § 34, p. 24. For that reason, in addition to the reasons stated by Judge Huxman, it is my opinion that the judgment should be affirmed.
