(1) The Pullman-Standard , 456 U.S. 273 (1982), this Court developed which is the
standard for reviewing jurisprudence for issues of fact and issues of law, and held the Court
of Appeals, according to Rule 52(a) broadly requires that findings of fact of a lower court,
may not be set aside unless clearly erroneous. This Rule, however, does not apply to
conclusions of law. The question before this Court is, did the Appeals Court for the Federal
Circuit enter a decision in conflict with the decision of another United States Court of
Appeals on the same important matter?

(2) Whether the Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit itself, along with the Court
of Claims findings rested on an erroneous view of the law, requiring both to be set aside
on that basis?
