   NEILL, Board Judge.
 
        These cases involve claims by the appellant for the overtime
   use and  early occupancy  of a warehouse  owned by  appellant and
   leased to the General  Services Administration (GSA).   They also
   involve  a  claim  for  the  cost of  preparing  a  proposal  for
   equitable  adjustment and  a  related  counterclaim  by  GSA  for
   alleged overpayment for overtime use of appellant's warehouse. 
 
        The parties have recently advised  the Board that they  have
   reached a settlement in these appeals.  They ask, therefore, that
   we  render a  decision  in  accordance with  the  terms of  their
   agreement.   Pursuant  to the  agreement, the  Board is  asked to
   render  a  judgment  in  favor  of appellant  in  the  amount  of
   $520,500,  inclusive of  all costs,  attorney  fees and  interest
   through   sixty  days   after   the   effective   date   of   the
   agreement.[foot #] 1      If   payment   of   the   $520,500   is
   made  later than  sixty  days  after the  effective  date of  the
   agreement, then  appellant will also  be entitled to  interest on
   this amount at rates set by the Secretary of the Treasury for the
   Renegotiation  Board  (pursuant to  Pub.  L. 92-41,  85  Stat. 97
   (1971)), beginning  on the  sixty-first day  after the  effective
   date of  the agreement,  until the amount  is paid.   The parties
   have  further agreed  to submit certificates  of finality  on the
   basis of this stipulated judgement.  
 
        Rule   136(e)  permits  the  Board  to  adopt  the  parties'
   stipulation of settlement, by decision, and it provides that such
   decisions are adjudications of the appeals on their merits.  See,
   e.g.,  PJR  Construction Corp.,  GSBCA  6062,  et  al., 85-1  BCA
     17,752.
 
                                Decision
 
        This  appeal  is  GRANTED in  accordance  with  the parties'
   stipulated  settlement.    The  award  is to  be  paid  from  the
   permanent indefinite judgment  fund, 31 U.S.C.    1304 (Supp.  II
   1996).
