Downey House of Representatives Dear Mr. Downey: On November 15, 1978, and December 14, 1978, you forwarded to us letters you had received from Mr. Frank DeJoy of the New Breed Movin4 Corporation and requested we look into his complaints that New Breed has been treated unfairly by the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We reviewed files at GSA, FAA, and our own Office, and we interviewed GSA and FAA personnel. We found no evidence to substantiate the allegations. We did find that New Breed was given shipments for which it did not have com- modity or territorial authority. These shipments should not have been tendered by FAA nor accepted by New Breed. NEW BREED AND GSA GSA is responsible for (1) determining the correctness of charges paid for all freight and passenger transporta- tion services furnished the United States Government and (2) recovering overcharges from the carriers. This respon- sibility was transferred from our Office to GSA by the General Accounting Office Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 66(a)). Mr. DeJoy states he was overwhelmed with notices of overcharge and that all his bills for the previous 3 years were audited. According to GSA officials, New Breed's Government Bills of Lading originally were reviewed im- mediately but had to be set aside because the auditors could not find any record of a proper Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) tariff on file by New Breed. The tariff describes the rate structure and delineates the territorial and commodity operating authority of the carrier. 108621 - CED-79-48 (341018) 0Q330 io/o) /
