In that correspondence you were advised that this Office had been informed-by the United States Army Finance and Account- ing Center that the records upon which the validity Lind uon- payment of your claim could be predicated had been destroyed pursuant to law. Further, that'in the absence of those records there was no basic upon which yor claim could be allowed. You indicate thaV you filed your initial claim with the Finance Center in July 1972 ond that you sent follow-ups to the Finance Center at least every four months thereaftnr and made numerous telephone calls concerning the matter, You say that you eventually received correspondence from the Finance. Zvnter stating that two checks in payment were supposedly sent to you in 1973. However, you claim that you never received them and that as late as 1978 they had never been returned to the 0 Finance Center. You also indicate that you were advised that sincn the checks were still outstanding, they could not be replaced until, a report had been received on the whereabouts of the checks.

While under the authority of 31 U.S.C. 71, all claias and demands by and against the Federal Government shall be adjusted and settled in the General Accounting Office, our ability to act is dependent on information received from the reporting agencies, e.g., the Department of the Army, as well as claiming individuals and non- Government organizations.
