Res. 63, 96th Congress, 1st Session, was sub- mitted by Senator Domenici to refer S. 379 to the Chief Commissioner of the United States Court of Claims, for findings of fact and recommendations under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1492, and § 2509 (1976). A similar bill and resolution were introduced in the 95th Congress, 1st Session: S. 2246, and S. Res. 309. -A claim relating to this matter was filed with our Claims Division, file No. Z-899522, apparently around the time of the accident. However, the file was sent to the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Record Center, for storage and subsequently was destroyed because it was a settled claim.

Further development of the facts at this late date by this Office would not appear warranted since that task would be delegated to the Commissioner, Court of Claims, by S. Res. 63. -~0
