[CONCURRENCE — Mr. Justice Powell,]
Mr. Justice Powell,
concurring.
I concur in the Court’s denial of the petition to intervene. As these cases have been remanded to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, jurisdiction with respect to relief sought by new parties at this time is vested in that court.
