 Mr. Bryson M. Kratz
 Attorney at Law                                   April  24, 1981

 Bishop, California  93514

 Dear Mr. Kratz:                       Dd     AL4d att, 1iiLbie to pabio ret1a

      Reference is made to your letter of February 5, 1981:requesting that
 we notify you of the current status of the trust of which Ms. Frances Daywalt
 was a beneficiary for life and that we send you a copy of this trust agree-
 ment.

      As stated previously in our April 21, 1975 letter to Senator Cranston,
 our Office, without further information, is unable to consider favorably
 the claim of the heirs of Ms. Daywalt whom you represent.  Despite your fur-
 nishing us with some additional facts concerning this transaction, we are
 unable to satisfy your new request.  We would not normally be the respository
 of such an agreement and in the absence of the trust document or other inde-
 pendent evidence strongly-demonstrating the existence and terms of this
 trust, we cannot be of assistance.

      We suggest that you submit as much information as you have to both the
 Bureau of Public Debt of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Legis-
 lative, Judicial and Fiscal Branch of the National Archives and Records
 Service of the General Services Administration.  With this additional infor-
 mation, they now may be able to find some record of this trust.  Without
 a copy of the trust agreement or independent evidence describing its ex-
 istence and terms, it is unlikely any Federal agency will be able to help
 your clients.

      Again, we are sorry that we cannot be of more assistance in this
 matter, but, as indicated above, this Office does not maintain copies of
 trust agreements or other documents which can help establish your client's
 claim.

                                          Sincerely yours,





                                          Robert H. Hunter
                                          Assistant General Counsel
