   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3826
                          and No:  02-3919
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - arbitration. Employee's reinstatement did not violate 
   public policy, as employer was unable to identify any statutory or 
   regulatory provisions which evidence a public policy which would be 
   violated by employee's reinstatement; the very real safety concerns 
   involved in the liquid natural gas regulatory framework would not be 
   violated by employee's reinstatement as the arbitrator's award gave 
   the employer the right to reassign him; case remanded for further 
   proceedings on employer's claim that the award was procured through 
   a fraud on the arbitrator; challenge to decision on back pay rejected.
