Before Board Judges PARKER, DEVINE, and HYATT.

HYATT, Board Judge.

     Iowa-Illinois appealed the contracting officer's decision to
terminate for default contract number GS-04P-90-EWC-0012 for the
provision of janitorial services at the United States Federal
Building in Winchester, Tennessee.  On December 23, 1996, the
parties filed a settlement agreement with the Board, providing that
the termination for default shall be converted to one for the
convenience of the Government and that GSA will pay Iowa-Illinois
the sum of $3,350 as full and complete settlement of GSBCA 12595
and all claims arising under the contract.  

     The settlement agreement further provides that the matter will
be submitted to the Board for decision in accordance with its
terms.  The parties have also executed and submitted certificates
of finality as to the Board's decision.  

     Pursuant to Rule 136(e), the Board adopts the parties'
stipulation for entry of judgment and enters judgment as requested. 
Rule 136(e) provides that the Board may so adopt the parties'
stipulation, by decision, and that such decision is an adjudication
of the appeal on its merits.  E.g., Barber Construction Co. v.
National Gallery of Art, GSBCA 12946-NGA, 95-1 BCA  27,405.

                                 Decision

     The appeal is GRANTED.  Judgment is entered for appellant in
the amount of $3,350.  Rule 136(e).
