1Opinion of the Court
DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:
We are called upon in this case to determine whether the waiver requirements of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act 2 (the “OWBPA”), make our holding in Grillet v. Sears Roebuck & Co., 927 F.2d 217 (5th Cir.1991), unsound. Because we conclude that nothing in the text or the legislative history of the OWBPA evidences a congressional intent to disturb the common law principles to which our holding in Grillet is anchored, the district court’s judgment is affirmed.
