OPINION
STANLEY S. HARRIS, District Judge.
Before the Court are defendants’ motion for summary judgment, plaintiffs’ opposition, defendants’ reply thereto, and various supplemental memoranda submitted by defendants. Upon consideration of the parties’ submissions and thé entire record in this case, the Court grants defendants’ motion. Although findings of fact and conclusions of law are unnecessary on decisions of motions under Rule 12 or 56, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 52(a); Summers v. Department of Justice, 140 F.3d 1077, 1079-80 (D.C.Cir.1998), the Court nonetheless sets forth its reasoning.
