 The Honorable Barbara Allen Babcock
 Assistant Attorney General
 Civil Division
 Department of Justice

    Attention: Frank M. Rapoport, Attorney.
               Commercial Litigation Branch

 Dear Ms. Babcock:

    Subject:              v. United States
             Ct. Cl. No. 409-78


    Reference is made to your letter dated September 18, 1978 (file
 reference BAB:JFM:FMRapoport:rwb 154-409- 78), with statutory
 call form of the same date, requestinga report on the petition filed
 September 1.4, 1978, in the above-entitled case. The petitioner
 therein seeks a total of $342. 25 in damages stemming from the
 alleged failure of the United States Army Finance Center to properly
 mail his Class E allotment. Petitioner's alleged damages consist
 of bank draft check charges, insufficient funds charges, stationery
 and postal costs, account charges, cost of a FOIA request, and
 loss of interest on funds for one year.

    There is no record of any claim having been filed in the General
 Accounting Office on account of the matters set forth in the petition
 and we have no information concerning the facts in the present case
 other than the allegations made in the petition. It is noted, however,
 that the petitioner in this case is apparently the same -individual
 whose petition for payment of the cost of shipping household goods
 from Vietnam is pending. See _     r. United States, Ct. Cl.
 No. 16-78, on which a report was-Frnished to you eated February 9,
 1978.

    The petitioner alleges that while stationed in South Vietnam he
 authorized, on July 12, 1970, a Class E allotment of $75 monthly
 to be sent to his account with Bank of America. According to the
 petitioner payroll deductions were made and were reflected on the
 payroll vouchers he received from August through December 1970.
