1Opinion of the Court
DECISION AND ORDER ON JOINT MOTION OF DEBTOR AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR DETERMINATION OF THE ASSUMPTION OR REJECTION OF EXEC-UTORY CONTRACTS
LEIF M. CLARK, Bankruptcy Judge.
This case involves the ability of a chapter 11 debtor in possession to assume an exec-utory government contract. It requires construction of 41 U.S.C. § 15 (which prohibits the transfer of a government contract without the consent of the United States) and 11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(1) (which limits the ability of a trustee to assume or assign executory contracts governed by anti-assignment laws).
