Summary:
The present paper deals with the spectra of powers of metrically regular graphs. We prove that there is only one table of the parameters of an association scheme so that the corresponding metrically regular bipartite graph of diameter $D = 6$ (7 distinct eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix) has the metrically regular square. The results deal with the graphs of the diameter $D < 6$ see [7] and [8].
