Dear Mtr. Rabermeyer:

     ThiA in in reply to your letter 4ated tebruary 20, 1M.E~ re-
queisting our opinion a whether the appropriation of the Pailzroad
Retirommet 3ad is ayailable to pay a w~nthly frnchiae fee to a
food service contractor in order to obtain cafeteria service on a
mnuai basis in the Bo*ards headquarters office bvtildirig, 644 Nbrth
Rush Street, 'cbicago, .iinOI.

     The Board, an Idependent agency In th~ ezecutive branch of the,,
   nP0rtu~, administers the Railroad Retirement Act (1&5 U.s.C. 228.-
228t-W-end the Railroad Unemp1oyua*t Insurance Act (45 U.S. C. 35l'
-367). The appropriation apparently with uhich ymr InqTairy Is
primarily concerned is the siwaal appropriation for the administra-
tive expenses of the Railroad Retirment Act./I-t nrovides waonys
derived from the railroad retirement accoimt and the railroad re-
tiret supplemintal aLccount 'For ex panses necestary for the
hailroad Retirement Board         S ee Departmentx of Labor, and
Health, Zdueatian, and Welfare, and Related Agootes Appropriation
Act, I9M0 Pubic Law 91 -2o), M(arch 5, 197.

     The adminisitrative expensex of the RailroW ad mploy~set Insur -




vould appear to be little doubt of the availability of .the fund for
luch share of the expense as way properly be chargeable to the
vze~Poyment insurance program.

     -T explanatin= of the 3ituation givimg rise to the quiestion
presontad, your letter states:

     A cafeteria has been maintained in the Raard' 3
     he *iqntlraz building since the early 110S
        Pr~n    caf~tar! A, which is over n y~r
              '43 talie at a co-zt '3f armiiutely
