MATTER OF:
                Warren E. Street - Claim for Reimbursement
                for Annual Leav4  .
DIGEST:
                Where former employee of Army contends
                he was improperly charged annual leave
                incident to PCS travel and claims reim-
                bursement for it, and Army maintains he
                was never charged the leave in question,
                the claim must be disallowed under the
                long standing rule that when there is a
                dispute between the claimant and the ad-
                ministrative agency as to the facts,
                those reported by the administrative
                agency will be accepted by this Office
                in the absence of evidence sufficient
                to overcome the presumption of the cor-
                rectness thereof.

     By letter dated May 10, 1976, Mr. Warren E. Street a former
 employee of the Department of the Army, requests reconsideration
 of that part of our decision of May 4, 1976, B-184608, wherein
 we held that this Office tould not, in the absence of substantive
 evidence overcoming it, disturb the determination of the Depart-
 ment of the Army that he was not charged 8 hours annual leave for
 January 2, 1974, and was therefore not entitled to reimbursement
 for it.

     Mr. Street continues to contend that he was charged annual
 leave for January 2, 1974, when he delayed by one day the com-
 pletion of his permanent change of station (PCS) travel from
 Heidelburg, Germanyto Anniston, Alabama, because of the President's
 request for Sunday closings of gasoline stations. The file
 indicates that, prior to the finding by this Office that this
 delay was justified, the Anniston Army Depot did intend to charge
 him leave for that day and, by letter dated February 27, 1974,
 requested the Finance and Accounting Office in Europe to enter
 this charge on the claimant's Record of Leave Data, Standard
 Form 1150, and forward it to Anniston.

     However, at our request, the.Army has again reviewed this
matter and has informed us as follows:  (1) the charge for 8 hours
  -A  .1uut leave for January 2, 1974, was not entered on Mr. Street's
