~AA ~   The Comptroller General
        of the United States
        Washington, D.C. 20548

        Decision

           -        Deduction of expenses from proceeds from
                    from sale of securities before deposit in
        Matter of-  Treasury

        File:       B-225344

        Date:       December 5, 1986

          DIGEST

          Escrow agent, holding securities constituting a civil
          penalty pursuant to order of the District Court in the
          case of Securities and Exchange Commission v. Ivan Boesky
          may sell the securities and deduct all costs directly
          related to the sale, subject to approval by the Court,
          before depositing the net proceeds in the Treasury, as
          authorized by 40 U.S.C. § 485a,


          DECISION

          The Deputy General Counsel, Department of the Treasury,
          has provided this Office with a copy of the final judg-
          ment rendered by the United States District Court for
          the Southern District of New York in the case of Securi-
          ties and Exchange Commission v. Ivan F. Boesky, No. 86
          Civ. 8767 (R.O.) (S.D.N.Y.) The defendant is ordered,
          among other sanctions, to transfer to a court-appointed
          escrow agent certain shares of stock worth approximately
          $50,000,000 for the benefit of the United States Trea-
          sury. Treasury would like to have these securities sold
          as quickly as possible to avoid a threatened dissipation
          of the value of the assets. Its concern was whether
          Treasury--or the plaintiff, SEC--would have to pay the
          not inconsiaerable selling costs from their own appro-
          priations because 31 U.S.C. S 3302, the so-callea
          Miscellaneous Receipts statute, requires deposit in the
          Treasury of the gross amount of funds received for the
          Unitea States without deductions of any kind.
