TO AMP INCORPORATED:

REFERENCE IS MADE TO LETTER OF APRIL 8, 1964, SIGNED BY G. S. GRAHAM, CREDIT DEPARTMENT, ASSERTING THAT IN DECISION OF APRIL 7, 1964, SUSTAINING DISALLOWANCE OF YOUR CLAIM FOR $100 COVERING UNPAID FOR ITEMS SUPPLIED TO THE DAYTON AIR FORCE DEPOT, WE FAILED TO CONSIDER PROOF FURNISHED BY THE POSTMASTER AT DAYTON, OHIO, ESTABLISHING THAT SUCH ITEMS WERE DELIVERED.

EXAMINATION OF THE DECISION INDICATES THAT YOU HAVE OVERLOOKED THE LAST SENTENCE ON PAGE ONE IN WHICH DELIVERY OF THE ITEMS EVIDENCED BY THE TWO INSURED PARCEL POST RECEIPTS CITED, NOS. 1094499 AND 1094501, WAS ACKNOWLEDGED. HOWEVER, AS YOU ALSO WERE ADVISED, THE ITEMS SO INSURED AND DELIVERED WERE BILLED TO THE GOVERNMENT ON YOUR INVOICES NOS. 1075678 AND 1076353 AND PAYMENT IN FULL THEREFOR WAS INCLUDED IN THE SUM OF $117.51 DISBURSED TO YOU BY MAJOR W. A. JONES, DISBURSING SYMBOL 5964, GENTILE AIR FORCE STATION, OHIO, ON OCTOBER 20, 1961. WE FURTHER POINTED OUT THAT A CAREFUL REVIEW OF ALL INSURED PARCEL POST ENTRIES AT THE DAYTON AIR FORCE DEPOT DURING THE PERIOD FROM MAY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1961, DISCLOSED ONLY THE TWO ENTRIES (RECEIPTS NOS. 1094499 AND 1094501) DEALING WITH PERTINENT SHIPMENTS FROM YOU, THUS ELIMINATING ANY REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT OTHER OR ADDITIONAL DELIVERIES COULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVED OR OVERLOOKED.

WE THEREFORE PERCEIVE NO LEGAL BASIS FOR DISTURBING THE ACTION TAKEN IN SUSTAINING REJECTION OF YOUR CLAIM FOR ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.
