OPINION
BRUGGINK, Judge.
This is an action for a Fifth Amendment taking, or, in the alternative, for breach of contract. Plaintiffs contend that the Government either breached the oil and gas leases it executed with plaintiffs or their predecessors in interest, or that the Government’s actions here resulted in a taking of their leases. The matter is presently before the court on the parties’ renewed cross-motions for summary judgment. Oral argument was heard on December 19, 1996, in Washington, D.C. For the reasons set forth herein, defendant’s motion is granted.
