Upon separation, January 4, 197), employee
seeks further restoration ind lump-sum payment
for 160 hours of unused forfeited and restored
1973 leave which was forfeited again at end of
1975 leave year, on grounds he Intended to use
but agency erroneously ctarged regular leave
ccount,  or he was prevented from using by
illness.  Claim must be denied.  Once forfeited
and restored leave is forfeited again, there
is no legal authority for its further restoration
or to pay for it.


     By letter dated March 1, 1977, Mr. W. F. Urice, Accounting and
Finance Officer, Defense Depot Memphis. Defense Logistics Agency,
requests a decision as to whethor Mr. PatrickrJ. Quinlan, who
retired on disability on.Janviary 4, 1977, ,is encitled to a lump-
sum payment for 160 hours of forfeited apA restored 1973 annual
leave which was forfeited again at the end of the 1975 leave years

     The relevant circumstances insofar as can be determined from
the file appear to be -as fol lows. After being evacuated from
Vietnam under emergency conditions in April 1975, Mr. Quinlan was-
temporarily assigned to MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, for ap-
proximately 2 months.  During this period he used 6 days or 48
hours of annual leave.  On June 29, 1975, he was assigned to the
Defense Property Disposal Office, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
A Record of Leave Data was received from.his former employing office
on August 18, 1975, indicating that he had to his credit 160 hours
of restored annual leave for the 1973 leave year, 8 hours restored
for the 1974 leave year, and 376 hours of regular annual leave.
A corrected leave record was received January 15, 1976, changing
the 1974 restored leave from 8 to 96 hours. At issue here as
previously irdicated, is the 160 hours of 1973 leave.

     It is stated in the file that there is no record of the datc
or the basis of the restoration of the 1973 leave, but that it is
assumed that the reason for not using the leave was the exigencies
of the public business. However,  it is further stated in the file
that the record does show that this leave had to be used by
