Secretary of Labor for Administration and ..,hagement for an:Ldvance
decision as tc'Sahether Mr. Robert Ran:i, an employee of the Depirtment
of Labor in the New York Region, may receive temporary retroactive

required Mr. Rann to serve 1 year at grade GS-13 before he could be
given a temporary promotion to grade GS-14, the Civil Service Com-
