TO MR. ANDREW P. RASMUSSEN:
A LETTER DATED JUNE 25, 1957, SIGNED BY YOU AND 20 OTHER CLAIMANTS (ADMINISTRATIVE ENROLLEES) REFERS TO A "CLAIM" SUBMITTED HERE FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RATE PRESCRIBED FOR SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE WHEN RATIONS IN KIND ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE RATE PRESCRIBED (COMMUTED RATIONS) WHEN PERMISSION TO MESS SEPARATELY IS GRANTED FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1950, TO SEPTEMBER 26, 1956, INCIDENT TO SERVICES AS ADMINISTRATIVE ENROLLEES, UNITED STATES MARITIME SERVICE, AND REQUESTS RECONSIDERATION OF THAT "CLAIM.' ALTHOUGH 19 OF THE SIGNERS OF THE JUNE 25TH LETTER MADE CLAIM FOR INCREASED SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE FOR THE ABOVE REFERRED-TO PERIOD (WHICH CLAIMS WERE DISALLOWED), IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT YOU SUBMITTED SUCH A CLAIM. HOWEVER, YOUR CLAIM, AS NOW SUBMITTED IS APPARENTLY IDENTICAL WITH THE CLAIMS FROM THE 19 OTHER ENROLLEES, AND NO DOUBT, IF IT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 1956, ALONG WITH THE OTHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN DISALLOWED FOR THE SAME REASONS.
IN VIEW OF THE JOINT REQUEST OF JUNE 25 AND AS THE CLAIMS ARE IDENTICAL WE HAVE PREPARED A DETAILED REPLY TO MR. HENES ONLY. THE VIEWS SET FORTH IN THAT REPLY, COPY HEREWITH, ARE EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO YOUR CLAIM.
