American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations v. Alfred E. Kahn, Chairman, Council on Wage and Price Stability ( 1979 )

TAMM, Circuit Judge,

concurring:

I concur in Judge Wright’s opinion for the court. Lest we later be construed as having broadly interpreted the Procurement Act, I write separately only to emphasize my belief that the opinion we issue today is a narrow one. It does not allow the President to exercise powers that reach beyond the Act’s express provisions. In my view, the decision to uphold Executive Order 12092 is predicated upon the close nexus between the purpose of the voluntary guidelines and the goal of the Act to secure economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
