Dear Colonel  Johnston:


     This  letter is in response  to yours dated  May 15,
1930, requesting  reconsiderdtion  of Comptroller
Gneral  decision  B-195129,  April 28, 1980, which  con-
cerned  the monetary settlement  to be concluded  4ith
you as  the result of the action  taken by the  Army Board
for Correction  of Military  Records to nullify  the fact
of your  retirement in 1974,  and to retroactively  promote
you and  restore you to active  military service.  ohW have
also received  your letter  of May 14, 1980,  to the Army
Finance  and Accounting Center  which was forwa  ded here
by that agency.

     In  the decision it was  concluded, among  other
things,  that the amount of  earnings you received  from
civilian  sources between June  1975 and January  1977
was deductible  from the net  amount of active  duty
military  backpay found to  be due to you for  the period
of your  invalid Army retirement  from September-1974
through  February 1977.  You  say that while  you do not
agree with  the conclusion  reached that interim  civilian
earnings  should be deducted  in the settlement,  you
understand  that the rule  requiring that deduction  is
in the Government's  interest.   However, you  qutstion
whether  the rule properly  applies equally  to Regular


as well as  Reserve office
