RUSSELL, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
I dissent from the majority opinion for the reasons stated in Hines v. Guthrey (W.D.Va.1972) 342 F.Supp. 594, and United States ex rel. Bryant v. Shapp (D.Del.1976) 423 F.Supp. 471.
I might add that the majority opinion cites in support of its conclusions Pierson v. Grant (N.D.Iowa 1973) 357 F.Supp. 397. However, on appeal the court of appeals did not, as I read the opinion,1 affirm the portion of the district court’s decision cited by the majority in support of its conclusion. On the contrary, the opinion of the appellate court merely recognizes the conflict in the decisions on the point.2
