BUTZNER, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in sustaining the award to Adkins. I believe that the Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, Department of Labor, should be recognized as a party to these proceedings. Therefore, I dissent from that part of the opinion which denies him standing as a respondent. See I.T.O. Corp. of Baltimore v. Benefits Review Board, etc., 542 F.2d 903, 909 (4th Cir.1976) (Craven and Butzner, Circuit Judges, dissenting).
