AS YOU ARE AWARE YOUR CLAIM WAS THE SUBJECT OF A SETTLEMENT BY THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE AND OF A DECISION BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES. ON THE FACTS OF RECORD BOTH THE SETTLEMENT AND THE DECISION NECESSARILY WERE UNFAVORABLE TO YOU UNDER THE APPLICABLE STATUTES AND REGULATIONS. WE HAVE REEXAMINED THE FILE IN YOUR CASE AND CAN FIND NOTHING THAT WOULD WARRANT A LEGAL CONCLUSION DIFFERENT FROM THAT REACHED IN OUR EARLIER DECISION. WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ALLOW PURELY EQUITABLE CLAIMS. THE RECORD DOES SHOW THAT ANY EQUITABLE ASPECTS OF YOUR CLAIM WERE THE SUBJECT OF SOME FOUR BILLS INTRODUCED IN THE CONGRESS DURING THE YEARS 1947 TO 1953. NONE OF THESE BILLS WAS ENACTED INTO LAW.
