Dear Mr. Secretarys

     This refers to letter dated September 11, 1972, from the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) transmitting for decision Department
of Defens-* Military Pay and Allowance Comittee Action No. 467 involv-
ing the following question:

     l.  May a Civil Service retiree with 5 or  ore years
     civilian service vbo used his military service to
     establish eligibility for an annuity, revoke his
     vaiver of military retired pay upon reaching age 62,
     have his military retired pay reinstated, and have his
     Civil Service anity   recomputed on the basis of
     civilian service only?

In reaching our decision, the Assistant Secretary asks us to consider
a statement (copy of which was enclosed) made by the Deputy Assistant
Secreta-r of Defense (hnpcrwrer and Reserve Affairs) on H. R. 10670
before the Special Subecmittee  on Survivor Benefits, Senate Conmittee
on Armed Services.  H. R. 10670 has become Public Law 92-425, approved
Septezber 21, 1972.  Th1  law establishes a survivor benefit plan for
military personnel.

that:

    A retired meidber of the uniformed services Vhose military
    service  upon retirement from civilian employment is not
    used  to establish his civil service annuity eligibility
    but  is only used in the computation of the annuity to
    $2crease  the amnt   payable, may withdraw his vaiver of
    retired  pay and have the pay reinstated as no double bene-
    fit  would result fram the sam  service by terminating the
    use  of the military service to empuV.!';he civil service
    annuity  and reinstating the retired ny, and 5 U.S.C.
