Preetorius, USA Accounting and Finance Officer Defense Supply Agency Administrative Support Center Defense Supply Agency Cameron Station Alexandria, Virginia 22314 Dear Major Preetorius: This is in reply to your letter of October 1, 1970, reference DSASC-M, making inquiry as t- whether -edjustment may be made in the leave balance of Mr. Robert J. Muncie, an employee of the Defense Supply Agency (ISA), as requested in his letter of September 23, 1970. Due to an error by ISA Civilian Personnel Office in determining the employee's correct service computation date, Mr. Muncie was placed in the 8-hour leave-earning category rather than his proper 6-hour category.
