         Dear Mr, Doss:

             We refer further to your letter of December 11, 1972, eaference
         4c/L-117O, transitting a clai, for Mrso. Kathleen H. Barnes, an
         employee of the Departmant of the Axnq  conce-ing the setting of
         her salary upon her roinstatenent on August 7, 1963,

             We hav revimed the material subttted witb your letzar,
         together with a report on thi matter furnished at our request by the
         Department of the Army. t appears that Mrs. Barnes resigaM frxi a
         poeition Ia the Department of the Army em ClerW;-Typist, S-3, step
         rate 8, on October 22, 1962, and she was reinstated August 7, 1963,
         to a position of Stock Control Clerk (Typing), G-3, stop rate 1.
         I  is noir contended by the claimant that she should have been rein-
         stated under the highest pravious rate rule at GS-3$ step rate S,
         .&ad as a result she has been underpaid since thtat date.

            . The agency states that the detormination as to rato was duo to
         a shortage of funds which was consistent with agency pay fixing
         policy at the time due to an austerity program. The record indicates
         the reason for the rate doteraination va. ezplained to Hrs. Barnoa
         and reflectod on the npplicablo persnuul docnents wha bs h ras
         reinstated.

              It appears that during the latter part of 1966 the agency pay
         firng policy was changed and at that tims erc. Barnes' supervisor
         requested consideration be ivon as to whethar sho. could lie given a
         within-grade incroane sinca lirn. Barnes felt she had not been given
         the proper atop iihon she was reinstated,  Since His. 1arnes' previous
         high alary rate had been considered vhtin  hOwas reinstated and not
         granted as set forth above, the agency deterAined that no action Ins
         appropriate in light of the Departwent of the Amy regulation CPR P3,
         paragraph I-, which providea:
