Before TAMM, WALD and BORK, Circuit Judges.

Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge TAMM.

TAMM, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from the dismissal, 578 F.Supp. 324 (D.D.C.1984), of a suit brought by eleven members of the United States House of Representatives challenging as unconstitutional the military invasion of Grenada in October of 1983. Because the actions complained of have long since ended, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
