       Dear Mr. Tendy:

            Subject: [Statewide Insfio.  v. United States, CA NO. 80-1958

            By letter of May 5, 1980 (file reference JA:rb 157-51-2397),
       the Justice Department forwarded a copy of a summons and complaint
       filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District
       of New York, Civil Division, in the above-entitled case and reauested
       our report.

                                     FACTS

            The complaint stems from an automobile accident which occurred
       on April 30, 1979, in Hartsdale, New York, at the juncture of Dale-
       wood and Brookdell Drives.  The accident involved (1) a Government-
       owned vehicle dispatched from the General Services Administration(
       (GSA) motor pool and operated by Mr. Norman Krieger, an employee of   pp)
       the United States General Accounting Office stationed at our New York
       Regional Office, and (2) a vehicle owned by MacKay Publishing Corpora-   t)
       tion and operated by Mrs. Mildred Kristt, wife of MacKay's President.
       The MacKay vehicle was insure d l  ZI-Wide   Insurance Company, plain- 0/ 6*Y
       tiff in this action, under a $250 deductible policy.

            Shortly after the accident, Mr. Krieger, in accordance with GAO
       regulations, filed the necessary accident reports with the GAO Office
       of General Counsel.  The documents included Standard Form 91, Standard
       Form 91A, a copy of his travel order, and a brief statement attesting
       to his scope of employment at the time of the accident.

            According to the reports filed by Mr. Krieger, he was proceeding
      West  on Dalewood Drive and about to turn left onto Brookdell Drive,
      when  the vehicle driven by Mrs. Kristt, proceeding North on Brookdell
      Drive,  went through a stop sign and struck the driver's side of the
      GSA  vehicle.  Damage resulted to the front of the rear door of the
      GSA  vehicle, and to the front bumper and left front headlight area of
      the  MacKay vehicle.  There were no personal injuries, no witnesses,
      and  no police report was filed.
