TO MR. THOMAS M. WRING:
FURTHER REFERENCE IS MADE TO YOUR LETTER OF NOVEMBER 22, 1955, CONCERNING YOUR CLAIM FOR OVERTIME COMPENSATION INCIDENT TO SERVICES RENDERED ABOARD THE USAT GENERAL W. C. LANGFITT.
THE RECORD SHOWS THAT YOU RECEIVED AN EXCEPTED APPOINTMENT EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 28, 1949, FOR DUTY ABOARD THE USAT GENERAL W. C. LANGFITT AS NIGHT WATCHMAN AT $2420 PER ANNUM, PLUS APPLICABLE MARINE ALLOWANCES AND WERE TRANSFERRED TO SHORE LEAVE FOR HOSPITALIZATION AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON DECEMBER 2, 1949. YOU WERE PAID THROUGH DECEMBER 2, 1949, ABOARD THE VESSEL BY A SPECIAL DISBURSING AGENT. YOU WERE PLACED IN A LEAVE WITHOUT PAY STATUS FROM DECEMBER 3, 1949, TO JANUARY 15, 1950, AND ON JANUARY 2, 1950, YOU WERE SEPARATED FROM THE SERVICE. AT THE TIME OF YOUR SEPARATION FROM THE SERVICE YOU WERE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1.68 ON ACCOUNT OF THE SUBSTITUTION OF TWO HOURS' SICK LEAVE FOR LEAVE WITHOUT PAY. THIS AMOUNT WAS NOT PAID TO YOU AT THE TIME OF YOUR SEPARATION DUE TO A CLERICAL ERROR AND THE MATTER WAS FORWARDED TO OUR OFFICE FOR SETTLEMENT. BY CERTIFICATE OF SETTLEMENT DATED JANUARY 3, 1952, PAYMENT OF $1.68 WAS AUTHORIZED. BECAUSE OF YOUR INDEBTEDNESS TO THE GOVERNMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $169.31 AS SET FORTH IN CERTIFICATE OF SETTLEMENT NO. 1839985, DATED APRIL 21, 1950, THE AMOUNT OF $1.68 WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE PROPER APPROPRIATION TO BE APPLIED IN PARTIAL LIQUIDATION OF YOUR INDEBTEDNESS TO THE UNITED STATES.
SINCE THE RECORD SHOWS THAT YOU RECEIVED ALL THE COMPENSATION TO WHICH YOU WERE ENTITLED WHILE EMPLOYED ABOARD THE USAT GENERAL W. C. LANGFITT, THERE IS NO FURTHER PAYMENT DUE YOU IN THE MATTER.
CONCERNING YOUR FURTHER REFERENCE TO SERVICE ABOARD THE USAT COMFORT WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF OUR DECISION OF DECEMBER 30, 1955, TO YOU, YOU ARE ADVISED THAT FURTHER CONSIDERATION CAN BE GIVEN THIS MATTER ONLY UPON THE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE THAT THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE GOVERNMENT ARE NOT CORRECT.
