We  have reviewed the  parties' briefs and                 ___________            the record on appeal.   We agree with the district court that            the  agency ruling was  neither arbitrary, capricious  nor an            abuse of discretion nor do  we think that the agency's action            rests on any misinterpretation of the pertinent statute.   We            therefore affirm the judgment entered on March 7, 1997.                 Affirmed.                  _________                                         -2-
