         Office of
         General Counsel
         In Reply
         Refer to: B-183038
August 29, 1979


The Honorable Robert E. Bauman
House of Representative s ./..//          b /          4  7/    /'/
Dear Mr. Bauman:       i* 0


      This is in response to your letter of June 22, 1979,        d6
 to Mr. Daniel Leary of our Claims Division, concerning     A //
your constituent, Mrs. Evelyn Slowick.

      Mrs. Slowick's case was closed by a letter dated
April 17, 1978, when the General Counsel informed
Mrs. Slowick that she was not entitled to additional
compensation. No further action is contemplated in this
matter. The quote in Mrs. Slowick's letter to you dated
May 29, 1979, indicating that the General Counsel is
giving further consideration to her case is taken from
a Certificate of Settlement issued by our Claims Division
on July 8, 1977. The letter of April 17, 1978, was
the result of that further consideration. It appears
that Mrs. Slowick became confused by the fact that
a copy of the Certificate of Settlement was enclosed              -
with the letter of April 17, 1978. She apparently
misunderstood and believed that we informed her on
April 17, 1978, that her case was still under
consideration.

     We are enclosing copies of the above correspondence
as well as a copy of a subsequent letter to you from our
Office of Congressional Relations dated Iay 11, 1978, which
responded to your inquiry of May 5, 1978. With that letter
you forwarded a letter from Mrs. Slowick dated April 27,
1978, wherein she seems to have expressed a belief that
this Office had discriminated against her because of her
age. This apparently is because in our decision, Matter of
Evelyn S. Slowick, B-183038, May 9, 1975, (copy enclosed),
in which we awarded her back pay consisting of the difference
between the salary she received from the District of Columbia
and the salary she would have received in the Canal Zone,
the back pay ended at the time she would have been mandatorily
retired by the Canal Zone Government June 30, 1969, at age
62. The early retirement of Canal Zone employees is required
