No. 80-7488 (E.D. La.)


     This is in response to the letter from the Depart-
ment of Justice dated April 18, .1980, AD:DE:KO:nlp,
145-19-75, requesting a litigation report in connection
with the above-captioned suit.

     We have reviewed the complaint and prepared the
following response to the plaintiff's allegations con-
cerning the Comptroller General, keyed to the relevant
paragraph numbers of the complaint.

     Regarding Paragraph III, Elmer B. Staats is the
Comptroller General of the United States, appointed to
that office by President Johnson pursuant to section
502 of the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921, 31 U.S.C.
$ 42 (1976). Process  ias served upon the Comptroller
General in his official capacity in accordance with
Rule 4(d)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
(F.R.C.P.). However, Mr. Staats was never personally
served as we understand is required by Rule 4; we
therefore request you seek dismissal of the suit
against Hfr. Staats individually bedause of insuffi-
ciency of process. F.R.C.P. 12(b)(4).

     We admit paragraph XI and XII to the extent that
plaintiff filed a timely protest over the award of a
subcontract by the Dravo Utility Construction, Inc.
(DUCI) in accordance with the General Accounting Office
