MATTER OF:
               James G. Bristol -
               Claim for shipment of household goods
DIGEST:
          Employee, who transported his household goods
          by rented truck, submits, as evidence of
          weight of goods, dimensions of truck and
          statement that 33 items weighed about 3,000
          pounds.  Evidence is not sufficient to
          establish constructive weight of goods
          for reimbursement on comnutcd rate basis,
          nor does it substantiate that estimated
          weight approximates actual weight for
          reimbursement of actual expcnses incurred.
