1Opinion of the Court
KUNZIG, Judge.
The issue here is one of first impression before this court: whether the FTC’s decision under the Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act of 1980 to disclose its investigative files to state attorneys general is judicially reviewable. We hold that such decisions are not reviewable, provided that the two statutory prerequisites of (1) confidentiality and (2) official law enforcement purpose are satisfied. We rest principally on the “committed to agency discretion” exception of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 701(a)(2) (1976). 1
