OPINION OF THE COURT

After the docketing of this appeal, the appellant, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, filed a motion asking that we vacate the judgment of the district court and to order the matter remanded to the Secretary for further consideration of the appellee’s claim. This court thus had before it both the merits of the appeal and the motion to vacate and remand.

We have concluded that the granting of the motion will be the most appropriate and satisfactory way of disposing of this appeal.

It will be so ordered.
