[Request for Review of Air Force Off-Set for Freight Loss and Damages]

A carrier requested review of an Air Force off set for loss and damages to an Air Force member's household goods. GAO held that the carrier was liable for the damage to the member's goods, since: (1) an Air Force inspector examined the damaged items and found that additional damage occurred in transit; and (2) the carrier did not present clear and convincing evidence to rebut the inspector's report. Accordingly, the original decision was affirmed.
