GEE, Circuit Judge,
specially concurring:
By contrast to United States v. City of Miami, et al., 614 F.2d 1322 (5th Cir. 1980), the companion case handed down today, no party to this appeal resists the proposed consent decree on any ground, constitutional or otherwise. In the absence of a constitutional challenge, I believe that the propriety of the proposed decree is sustained in principle by the Supreme Court’s decision in Weber v. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp., 415 F.Supp. 761 (E.D.La. 1976), aff'd, 563 F.2d 216 (5th Cir. 1977), rev’d sub nom. United Steelworkers v. Weber, 443 U.S. 193, 99 S.Ct. 2721, 61 L.Ed.2d 480 (1979). I therefore concur in the result only.
