    v. McCullough, 239 Ay. 74. 38  S. W. 2d 955 j19311.

         George D. Breitueier, Authorized C2rtifying  Officer,
Forest Service, requested  a decision on a citizen' s claim for
$10,000 damages resulting from alleged breach  of oral agreement
relating to claimant's granting right-of-way  easement over
private property. Claimant was entitled to receive $05,  the
difference between agency  appraisal and $1 consideration for
right-of-way. Additional orally promised compensation  (gravel)
was unauthorized, and Government is astopped from honoring it.
There is no statutory authority to allow attorneys  fees.
whether additional loss occurred and whether  from breach of
promise must be determined by agency.  (DJM)
