SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
Nine months ago, when I joined in the panel opinion,1 I felt that the central question in this case was difficult and very-close. Reconsideration by the full court has not mitigated the problem, but it has altered my view on the outcome proper. Now, with the aid of additional research, argument and deliberation, I am convinced that the conclusions today reached by a majority of the court more accurately reflect the congressional objectives underlying Exemption 10 of the Government in the Sunshine Act,2 and more likely effectuate the legislative intent in regard to the duration of that exemption. Accordingly, I concur in the majority opinion.

. Clark-Cowlitz Joint Operating Agency v. FERC, 249 U.S.App.D.C. 309, 775 F.2d 359 (1985), vacated, 788 F.2d 762 (D.C.Cir.1986) (order).

. 5 U.S.C. § 552b(c)(10) (1982).
