Irvington Place Denver, CO 80279 Dear Mr. Nabil: This responds to your request that this Office grant relief from pecuniary liability under 31 U.S.C. § 3527(c) to Maj. Michael Mason, Defense Accounting Officer, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, for an improper payment that resulted from a fraud perpetrated on the Air Force on November 25, 1992, by someone purporting to be Darrell J. Joslyn. As explained below, we grant relief to Major Mason. BACKGROUND When this loss occurred, Major Mason commanded the Finance and Accounting Office of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. He was also its disbursing officer. Among other things, Major Mason and his staff were responsible for making disbursements on all travel vouchers approved for payment by the base's Traffic Management Office (TMO). On December 15, 1992, Major Mason's staff received and paid a voucher submitted by TMO on behalf of its contractor, the Schedule Airline Ticket Office (SATO), for the cost of travel arrangements they made for someone identified as Darrell J. Joslyn.1 According to the voucher, Joslyn was a member of the Army Reserve who was ordered to duty by the Tucson Army Reserve Center (TUCARC). Major Mason's staff detected nothing unusual or otherwise amiss in the voucher for Joslyn and paid SATO for it. After paying it, Major Mason's staff forwarded SATO's bill to the Army Finance and Accounting Center in Indianapolis for reimbursement 'In some parts of the Air Force record, this individual is alternatively identified as Darryl Joslyn. 1015424
