2 727 F.2d 274, 277. See, e.g., H.R. REP. No. 1487, 94th Cong., 2d Sess., reprinted in 1976 U.S. CODE CONG. & AD. NEWS 6604, 6617 ("An implicit waiver would . . . include a situation where a foreign state has filed a responsive pleading in an action without raising the defense of sovereign immunity").

3 The court also noted that in each case cited by appellant in which a sovereign party was found to have implicitly waived the immunity defense (see, e.g., Richardson v. Fajardo Sugar Co., 241 U.S. 44 (1916); Flota Maritima Browning de Cuba, S.A. v. M.V. Ciudad de la Habana, 335 F.2d 619 (4th Cir. 1964)), the sovereign party had failed to assert the defense in an answer or other responsive pleading.
