Item 5. Other Events

against EG&G Astrophysics and its parent, EG&G, Inc. (the Company) for

servicing dual energy baggage scanners for non-governmental customers in the

appropriateness of an appeal.

registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
