Restorations to the Civil Service Retirement
and Disability Fund

Pub. L. No. 99-155, 99 Stat. 814, directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to immediately
restore securities disinvested from the Civil
Service Retirement and Disability Funa (Fund)
after September 30, 1985, and redeemed between
September 30, 1985 and November 14, 1985,
which had higher interest rates than Federal
Financing Bank securities held by the Fund.
The restoration should be made as of the first
date the restoration would not have the effect
of exceeding the public debt limit.


         2. Section 272 of the Balanced Budget and
             Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, Pub. L.
             No. 99-177, 99 Stat. 1037, 1095-98, authorizes
             restoration of interest to the Civil Service
             Retirement and Disability Fund lost between
             September 1, 1985 and December 12, 1985, the
             date of the Act's enactment, resulting from
             redemption of Treasury securities instead of
             Federal Financing Bank securities with a lower
             interest yield. Section 272, however, aoes
             not authorize restoration of losses of interest
             occurring after December 12, 1985.


     In responding to our letter of January 17, 1986, in
which we asked the Secretary of the Treasury various
questions about operation of the Civil Service Retirement
and Disability Fund (Fund) during the tall of 1985, the
Treasury Department asked us whether section 272 of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,
Pub. L. No. 99-177, 99 Stat. 1037, 1095-98, authorizes it to
compensate the Fund for certain losses arising out of the
1985 debt limit problem. The losses in question resulted
from Treasury redeeming Treasury securities held by the Fund
instead of Federal Financing Bank (FFB) securities with a
lower interest yield.
