and defendant Western International
Hotel Corporation (‘‘Westin’’), have filed
a motion to terminate the Partial Final
Judgment entered in United States v.
Greater Portland Convention
Association, Inc., et al., Civil No. 70–
310, 1971 Trade Cas. (CCH) ¶73,731
(D.Or. 1971) on November 29, 1971
(‘‘Partial Final Judgment’’) and the Final
Judgment entered in United States v.
Greater Portland Convention
Association, Inc., et al., Civil No. 70–
310, 1973 Trade Cas. (CCH) ¶74,614
(D.Or. 1973) on September 14, 1973
(‘‘Final Judgment’’). Notice is also
hereby given that the Antitrust Division
of the United States Department of
Justice (‘‘the Department’’), in a
stipulation also filed with the Court, has
tentatively consented to termination of
the Partial Final Judgment and the Final
Judgment, but has reserved the right to
withdraw its consent pending receipt of
public comments.
On May 12, 1970, the United States
filed a complaint alleging the
defendants had conspired to restrain
trade and commerce in the distribution
and sale of hotel supplies. Essentially,
the complaint charged the defendants
with agreeing (i) to assess an amount of
money fixed by the hotels to be paid to
GPCA as contributions by hotel
suppliers, (ii) to give preference in the
purchase of hotel supplies to any hotel
supplier who did so contribute, and (iii)
to curtail purchases from any hotel
supplier who failed or refused to
contribute money to the GPCA.
Prior to trial, four of the five
defendants; Hilton, GPCA, ITT
Sheraton, and Cosmopolitan Investment
Inc., settled the charges by accepting
entry of the Partial Final Judgment on
November 29, 1971. The fifth hotel
defendant, Westin, was tried by jury
from November 30–December 4, 1970.
The jury found that Westin had violated
§ 1 of the Sherman Act, and Westin
appealed this decision to the Ninth
Circuit. United States v. Hilton Hotels
Corporation., et al. 467 F.2d 1000 (9th
Cir. 1972) cert. denied, 93 S.Ct. 938
(1973). On September 26, 1972, the
Ninth Circuit affirmed. Westin entered
into the Final Judgment on September
14, 1973.
The Department has filed with the
Court a memorandum setting forth the
reasons why the United States believes
that termination of the Partial Final
Judgment would serve the public
interest. Copies of the motion to
terminate, the stipulation containing the
United States’ tentative consent, the
United States’ memorandum, and all
further papers filed with the Court in
connection with the motion to terminate
will be available for inspection at the

utilized, including the technologies
adopted. Surveys will be mailed to a
randomly select sample of police

determine the level of crime mapping
within those departments, both in terms
of hardware and software resources as
well as the data used and types of maps
that are produced and how they are
used. The information collected from
