   Denr Hr. Edwards:

        6o refer to your letter received in this Office on July 5, 1973,
   regarding our decision of Juno 20, 1973, 1-170510, to you, suotaining
   the uction of our Trznaportation and Clans DivIsion which'disallowed
   your claim for travel excnses and-por diem/incident to temporary duty
   travel you undertook as an reployce of th6'United States Army Tani-
   Automotive Cormand, Warren, ilichigan,

        The facts in your case were stated in our decision of June 20,
   1973, and need not be repeated here except aw pertinent to the present
   discussion of the case, You have eubmittod no new inforiation in the
   ianttor except to sLate that you did not receive any oral or written
   notice of the cancellation of your travel orders prior to your dn-
   pzirturu for the training course at Ft. Lou, Virginia, that fact was
   unclear in the previous record since your aigned diaclaIor of receipt
   of notice of the cancellation seened to disclai only receipt of an
   oral notification by teloplhone on the particular date of August 24,
   1971. fenoranduns included in the record indlcated that your vupor-
   visors had notified you orally by telephone on August 26, 1971, as well
   as August 24, 1971, that your attendance at tle courae had been can-
   cellcd and your travl orders rescinded. You now state that yout
   received no notice of cancellation whatsoever prior to your departure
   and believe that your word can ba relied upon as tol1 as the word of
   your quperviaoro who have stated that they notified you.

        It long has been the rule of this Office, in circumstancea where
   the information furnished by the employee and that furnished by the
   administrative office is contradictory, to accept the statement of
   facts as furnished by the adninietrative office in the aboonce of
   evidcnce sufficient to overcome a presuplption of the correctness
   threof.   40 Camp. Gen. 178, 180 (1960); 37 id. 797, 790 (1958);
   36 id. 529, 530 (1957), lothing furnishrd by you serves to overcome
   the evidence furnished by the administrative office. Therefore,
   h.ere .Is n basis for any different viaw regarding your claim than
   that expressed in our decision of June 20, 1973.
