FILE:  B-168691                     DATE:    JUL1   4 1975

MATTER OF:      Pay of Assistant Judge Advocates General
                of the Navy.


DIGEST:


q2 -73Y7


Court of Claims in Selman v. United States,
204 Ct. Cl. 675 (1972eid   that naval officers
ordered to serve in positions of Assistant Judge
Advocates General are entitled to at least the
pay of a rear admiral (lower half) while serving
in such positions whether they were detailed
or assigned to such positions. Our decision
at 50 Comp. Gen. 22 (1970) which determined
that such officers were not entitled to pay of
rear admiral (lower half) will no longer be
followed.  Consequently, the successors to the
plaintiffs in Selman in the statutorily-created
positions are also entitled to receive the pay
of rear admiral (lower half).


     This action is in resoonse to a letter dated April 4, 1975;
from the Secretary of the Navy, requesting an advance decision
concerning the entitlement of certain naval officers serving in
the positions of Assistant Judge Advocates General of the Navy
to receive the pay of a rear admiral (lower half). This request
was cleared through the Department of Defense Military Pay and
Allowance Committee and assigned submission No. SS-N-1231.

     The Secretary states that the question of the entitlement
of Assistant Judge Advocates General of the Navy to receive the
pay of a rear admiral (lower half) was previously presented here
for determination of entitlement and by our decision, 50 Comp.
Gen. 22 (1970), we concluded that entitlement did not exist.
The Secretary also states that the question was then taken to
the United States Court of Claims and in the case of Selman v.
United States, 204 Ct. Cl. 675 (1974), the Court determined,
with respect to the plaintiffs named in that action and who were
the claimants in 50 Comp. Gen. 22, supra, that they were entitled
to the pay of a rear admiral (lower half) while serving in the-
statutorily-created positions.

     The Secretary further states that the Judge Advocate General
of the Navy is of the opinion that the successors to the named
plaintiffs in the statutorily-created positions of Assistant


                                                 PUBIJS4iED DECIION.
                                                 55 ComP. Gen...

       1  THE   COMPTROLLLR GENERAL
