           File:       B-217439

           Date:      June 2, 1987


           DIGEST

             Since the claimant has not satisfied the burden of proof
             necessary to support his claim, claim for rent payments
             arising from a rental agreement between the claimant and the
             United States Army is denied. Z-2846403-089, Oct. 6, 1986,
             is affirmed.


             DECISION

             Ngu Hung Tran asks for reconsideration of Z-2846403-089,
             Oct. 6, 1986, in which we denied his claim for rent payments
             totaling $63,984. For the reasons given below, we affirm
             the denial of his claim.

             Background

             By letter of August 23, 1980 to the Secretary of Defense,
             Mr. Tran claimed that early in 1974 he entered into a
             contract with the United States Army for rental of property
             including a warehouse, helicopter field and parking lot, at
             a rate of approximately $6,398 per month.l/  Rent payments
             were to be made every 3 months, with notice of termination
             to be given 1 month prior to termination. The rental
             contract was to continue unless notice of termination was
             given. Mr. Tran alleges that he did not receive payments
             from July 1974 to April 1975, totaling $63,984, because the
             Army's budget was not approved on time. He also claims he
             is owed $383,904 for payments between May 1975 and
             June 1980.

             The record suggests that after the United States evacuation
             from Vietnam in April 1975, Mr. Tran was incarcerated and





             1/  It appears that this amount was to be paid in piasters.
