ORDER
In their petition for rehearing, appellees have raised a number of arguments that they did not make to this court in their original appellate briefs. Specifically, they contend that if the scope of Title I and Title IV of ERISA are not construed consistently with regard to governmental plans that have, as here, been transferred to private entities, a number of problems will arise. The alleged problems will include the extent to which state law rules will govern matters otherwise controlled by federal law under ERISA's preemptive provisions in Title I; whether the Title I protections accorded the PBGC will continue to apply to court, and they are deemed waived and have played no role in our decision.
For this reason, and because appellees' reurging of their position on rehearing is otherwise not persuasive, the petition is DENIED.
Judge Cobb would grant the petition for a panel rehearing.
