In our decision, we held that was entitled to receive severance pay following the termination of his temporary appointment with the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission on May 12, 1981.

S- 630.502(b)(1)V(1985), copy enclosed. Section 630.502(b)()x specifically prohibits the recrediting of sick leave after a break in service of more than 3 years, and we have held
