                             THE  C  IMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                     OFTHE UNITED STATES
                             WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054e




FILE:                              DATE:     JAN 141976
         B-183803                                              24
MATTER OF:
                 Table Talk, Inc.

DIGEST:
            Denial of claims for payment for pies and plates
            allegedly delivered to several vessels of the United
            States Navy is sustained because claimant did not meet
            burden of producing clear and satisfactory factual
            evidence to support claims. Therefore the claims are
            of doubtful validity and must be disallowed.



      This decision is in response to requests by Table Talk, Inc.
  for reconsideration of our Transportation and Claims Division's
  settlements of March 20 and 28, 1975, which disallowed Table Talk's
  claims for payment for pies and plates allegedly delivered to
  several vessels of the United States Navy.

      The subject of the Transportation and Claims Division's
  settlement dated March 20, 1975, was Table Talk's claim for pay-
  ment of $724.10 for items allegedly delivered to the USS TINGSA,
  USS GREENLING, USS GATO, and USS TRIPPE in 1969, 1970, and 1971.
  The claim was denied because it appeared that Table Talk had
  failed to claim payment until 1974, subsequent to the destruction
  of Navy Food Service records pursuant to NAVSUP Publication 486,
  and because Table Talk, Inc. had not furnished satisfactory evi-
  dence of delivery and nonpayment.

      In response to the March 20, 1975 settlement, Table Talk
  supplied this Office with copies of rebilling letters purportedly
  sent to the USS TINOSA, USS GREENLING, USS GATO, and USS TRIPPE
  in 1973. However, the Commanding'Officer of the USS GATO stated
  in a November 15, 1974 letter to the Commanding Officer of the
  Navy Regional Finance Center, that no delinquent notices had been
  rece ed during the previous 3 years. The delivery receipts for
  the items allegedly supplied to the USS TRIPPE and USS TINOSA are
  so poorly reproduced that it is impossible to read invoice num-
  bers, prices, quantities, or signatures acknowledging receipt.
