By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

     1.   In  this   Order,  we   adopt  a   Consent  Decree 
terminating a forfeiture proceeding against Robert L. Meyers 
(``Meyers'')  concerning  operation   of  an  Amateur  Radio 
transmitter   in   violation   of   Section   333   of   the 
Communications Act  of 1934,  as amended (the  ``Act''), and 
Sections 97.101(d)  and 97.119(a) of the  Commission's Rules 
(the ``Rules'').1  Meyers agrees to submit his Amateur Radio 
license  for cancellation  and not  re-apply for  an Amateur 
license for a  period of 5 years.  Meyers  further agrees to 
make  a  voluntary  contribution  to the  U.S.  Treasury  of 
$1,000.

     2.   The   Enforcement   Bureau  assessed   an   $8,000 
forfeiture against  Meyers for  violation of  Section 333 of 
the Act and Sections 97.101(d) and 97.119(a) of the Rules.2  

     3.   The  Enforcement  Bureau  staff  and  Meyers  have 
negotiated  the  terms  of   a  Consent  Decree  that  would 
terminate this proceeding.  A copy  of the Consent Decree is 
attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 

     4.   We have  reviewed the terms of  the Consent Decree 
and  evaluated the  facts before  us.  We  believe that  the 
public  interest would  be served  by approving  the Consent 
Decree and terminating this proceeding.

     5.   Accordingly, IT  IS ORDERED, pursuant  to Sections 
4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,

in Sections  0.111 and 0.311  of the Commission's  Rules, 47 
C.F.R. §§ 0.111 and 0.311,  that the attached Consent Decree 
is hereby ADOPTED.

     6.   IT   IS  FURTHER   ORDERED   that  the   voluntary 
contribution referenced in the  Consent Decree shall be paid 
by  a  check  or money  order  drawn  to  the order  of  the 
``Federal Communications Commission.''   Reference should be 
made on the  check or money order to ``NAL  Acct. No. X3254-
001.''   The  remittance  should   be  sent  to:  Forfeiture

Commission, P.O. Box 73482, Chicago, Illinois 60673-7482. 

     7.   IT  IS FURTHER  ORDERED that  the above  captioned 
forfeiture proceeding IS TERMINATED.
