               requested that such time be charged to annual
               leave. After annual leave is granted, employee
               may not thereafter have such leave charged to
               sick leave and be recredited with the amount of

     The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, requests

     duty on sick leave until August 5, 1974. Thereafter,
     through October 9, 1974, it was necessary for him to be
     absent due to his injuries at irregular intervals. At
     his request, certain of this sick leave was charged to
     annual leave although he had several hundred hours of
     accrued sick leave to his credit. Specifically, annual
     leave was used in lieu of sick leave on the following
     datess

                   4 hours on August 16, 1974

                   August  23, 1974
                   8 hours on October 1, 1974
                   8 hours on October 9, 1974

               After making application for retirement,
     Mr. Whitwsa requested that the above 52 hours of annual
     leave which had been taken in lieu of sick leave be
     recharged to sick leave and such annual leave be
