TO MR. KEITH VON HAESLER:

THIS REFERS TO YOUR LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1969, WITH ENCLOSURES, CONCERNING YOUR INDEBTEDNESS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,323.30 BECAUSE OF THE VIOLATION OF A TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT IN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER ARRIVAL AT YOUR POST OF DUTY IN BREMERHAVEN, GERMANY.

THE FACTS IN YOUR CASE WERE FULLY SET FORTH IN OUR DECISION OF JULY 22, 1969, B-166930, TO YOU, AND NEED NOT BE REPEATED HERE. WE POINT OUT, HOWEVER, CONCERNING YOUR REQUEST AS TO WHO MADE THE ADMINISTRATIVE DETERMINATION THAT YOUR RESIGNATION WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THAT COMSTSELM (NAVY) IS SHOWN BY THE RECORD TO HAVE MADE THAT DETERMINATION. WE SO STATED ON PAGE 2 OF OUR DECISION OF JULY 22, 1969, B-166930, TO YOU.

IN YOUR LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 9, 1969, YOU SAY THAT AT NO TIME DID YOU MAKE A CLAIM FOR, NOR DID YOU RECEIVE, THE $14.50 REFERRED TO IN OUR DECISION OF JULY 22, 1969, REPRESENTATING SUBSISTENCE RELATIVE TO YOUR MOVE TO GERMANY. ENCLOSED IS A COPY OF DD FORM 1351-2, SIGNED BY YOU ON MAY 19, 1967, MAKING CLAIM FOR PER DIEM IN LIEU OF SUBSISTENCE FOR TRAVEL PERFORMED ON APRIL 30 AND MAY 1, 1967, INCIDENT TO TRAVEL FROM SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, TO BREMERHAVEN, GERMANY. IT IS NOTED ON DD FORM 1351-2 THAT $14.50 WAS INCLUDED IN CHECK NO. 8,224 DATED JUNE 1, 1967, DRAWN IN YOUR FAVOR, A COPY ENCLOSED HEREWITH SHOWING YOUR ENDORSEMENT.

WE HAVE AGAIN REVIEWED YOUR CASE; HOWEVER, OUR OPINION IS THAT YOU HAVE OFFERED NO NEW EVIDENCE THAT WOULD WARRANT A CHANGE IN OUR CONCLUSION. THEREFORE, WE REQUEST THAT YOU TRANSMIT TO THIS OFFICE A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,323.30 MADE PAYABLE TO THE "UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE" AND ADDRESSED TO POST OFFICE BOX 2610, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20013.
