COUNSEL OCT 3 0 1981 The Honorable Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary United,,States House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: We refer to your letter of August 12, 1981, in which you requested our comments on H.R. 1793/ 97th Cong. ist Sess., a bill for'Yt'We relief of Mr. B- enard J. Killeen, Jr. The bill would' relieve Mr. Killeen of liability to the-United States of $1,573, representing the total over- ,payments which. he received as a result of the failure to deduct premiums from his pay for optional life insurance coverage under the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance -program between January 27, 1969, and February 26, 1977. This -Office considered Mr. Killeen's request for *.iwaiveriof fthis- indebtedness under 5 U.S.C. 9 5584 (1976), : T on' two ' occasions, See our decisions B-198207, August 22, 1980, oand-January 14, 1981, copies enclosed. The basis of our decisions was that since Mr. Killeen had elected optional: life insurance and was therefore covered under the program, it was not against equity and good conscience to require him to pay for that coverage.. Thus, we denied * Mr.Killeen's request for waiver.- Although we takeno position on the merits of the billf,'we wish to- point out that enactment of this bill will result in preferential treatment of Mr. Killeen over others similarly situated. Sincerely yours, Van , Harry R. Van Cleve Acting General Counsel Enclosures
