1Opinion of the Court
McGOWAN, Circuit Judge:
This case presents a narrow, albeit important, issue of statutory construction: Does section 4(b) of the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 make it unlawful to enter a joint newspaper operating agreement without the prior approval of the Attorney General, or does it rather require prior approval only for parties seeking an antitrust exemption for such an agreement? The District *756Court enjoined a Justice Department regulation implementing the latter interpretation. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse.
