                        Trades Council, representing wage
                        board employees at hydro-electric

                        ove-time provision in their agree-
                        merrt-. Double overtime was stopped
                        by agency following our decision
                        in 57 Comp. Gen. 259, February 3,
                        1978. In light of section 704
                        of Civil Service Reform Act which
                        overruled our decision, and although

                        for double overtime is preserved by
                        section 9(b) of Pub. L. 92-392.  /

              Mr. R. Loschialpo, Chief, Office of Personnel, Office,
