Request for Review of Settlement Disallowing Claim

The company requested review of a settlement disallowing its claim for an administrative setoff to liquidate the Government's claim for unearned freight charges and the loss of freight. The carrier's delivery of an overage on a free astray basis at one terminal did not explain the shortage of different items at another terminal. In the absence of proof to the contrary, GAO accepted the agency's statement that it had no record of receiving the missing items.
