1Opinion of the Court

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

On reconsideration sua sponte, we withdraw our opinion dated January 5, 1973 and issue the following opinion.

In this case the plaintiffs attack the Small Business Administration’s program for awarding government procurement contracts to small business concerns owned by “socially or economically disadvantaged persons.” 13 C.F.R. § 124.8-1 (c). The district court held that the section 8(a) program is not authorized by statute and denies due process and equal protection in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. We reverse.

I

The plaintiffs-appellees, Ray Baillie…
