The Honorable Peter W. Rodino, Jr.
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     We refer to your letter of October 19, 1977, requesting our
views on H.R. 9502, 95th Congress, let Session, a bill, For the
relief of                   .i

     The bill would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay
to                  the sun of $5,566 in full settlement of all
of his claims against the United' States for services performed
as a civil engineer with the United States Army during World
War II, while on leave without right of salary from the Polish
Army, in connection with repairs and reconstruction in the ports
of Bremen and Bremerhaven.

     ft.        claie was disalltwed by this Office in Settlement
Certificate Z-1193030, dated October 30, 1952 (copy enclosed).
The disallowance was based primarily on a lack of evidence.
Mr.      originally asserted his claim in a letter to the Adjutant
General of the Army dated January 8, 1951 (copy enlosed). In
that letter Mr.      referred to 'nine exhibits and-40 enclosures.
None of the originals of thes-e referenced documents were ever
received by this Office. Prior to the issuance of our Settlement
Certificate, the only documntation in our file in support of
Mr.      - claim were copies, which were certified as true by
Mr.      himself, of extracts of some of the exhibits reaferred to
in his original claim. Our file consists mainly of letters from
various activities of the Army attempting to locate the missing
documents or to establish independent substantiation of Mr.
claim. Neither effort was successful prior to our disallowance
of the claim.

     Following our disallowance, Mr. I    continued his efforts
to locate the missing documentation, without success. To the best
of our knowledge, the missing documents have never been located,
