OPINION
MacMAHON, District Judge.
These cross-motions for summary judgment on stipulated facts, under Rule 56, Fed.R.Civ.P., present the question of whether recent congressional enactments, 1 repealing the long-standing prohibition on private ownership of, and speculation in, gold, also repealed the “Gold Clause Resolution” 2 which prohibited enforcement of any contractual clause providing for payment of an obligation in gold or any amount of money measured by gold. We conclude that the Gold Clause Resolution has not been repealed and that it is still in full force and effect.
