Dear Mr. Lagormarsino:

     Your letter of March 14, 1978. reQuested information and comments
concerning the entitlement of Mr.
Ventura, California, to expenses he incurred in a real estate transaction
for which be was not reimbursed by the Government.

     By Settlement Certificate Z-2755007, August 18, 1977, our Claims

by the Navy on June 2, 1975, extending the time for settlement to Jute 9,
1976, However, the settlement on the sale of his residence did not occur
until December 20, 1976, 194 days after expiration of the time extension.
