Highlights

An Authorized Certifying Officer of the Forest Service requested a decision as to the disbursement that should be made of the retainage remaining as the final balance due under a contract. The agency requested that funds owed to the company be applied to the company's delinquent tax bill. The claim for excess costs due under one contract may be set off against the balance due under another contract for the contractor's indebtedness to the Internal Revenue Service for taxes. (SW)
