DIGEST

The Railroad Retirement Board may elect to use either its
general appropriations or the separate appropriation
supporting its Office of Inspector General (OIG) to pay
performance awards to members of the OIG's Senior Executive
Service. When one can reasonably construe two

Board. For the reasons given below, we conclude that the
Board may use either appropriation.
