    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

On the dates of April 9th through the 13th, a group of young Minnesotans from Austin, Minnesota w1ll be v1siting San Francisco. They will be there for a concert. The group is known as the Briars -- a singing group doing modern music as well as patriotic songs. Really, they are very good. They will be staying at the Holiday Inn at Fishermen's Wharf. I wonder if it would be possible for you to extend an invitation to them to visit the City Hall or to extend some kind of hospitality to them and their director. I would really appreciate it, and I know they would be thrilled.

On 20 August 1974 (A/9714), the Spanish Government annourced the holding of a referendum for the self-determination of the Territory during the first six months of 1975. However, the General Assembly, in its resolution 3292 (XXIX) requested the International Court of Justice to give an advisory opinion and urged the Spanish Government to postpone the referendum. Although that resolution prolonged Spain's responsibilities and created a climate of uncertainty, Spain acceded to the postponement because the resolution recognized the right of the indigenous population of the Territory to self-, determination. External factors did not contribute, as would have been required by respect for the principles and precepts of the Charter, to a climate of peace and order; on the contrary, they aggravated the instability of the situation in the Territory and the area.

  • B-197525 Appeal of a Waiver Denial
    ~ -~ THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION K .!- OF THE UNITED STATES W A S H I N G T 0 N. 0. C. 2 0 5 4 8 FILE: B-197525 DATE: March 3, 1980 MATTER OF: pi-iC Patrick H. Dunivin, USN DIGEST: A member of the Navy was separated from A J 2 his wife when he transferred to Washington, D.C., and she remained in Puerto Rico. The wife obtained a divorce in Puerto Rico in February 1976 but the member did not have knowledge of the divorce until February 1977. Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) at the dependent rate was .not terminated until August 1977, resulting in overpayment. BAQ at dependent rate from February 1976 through February 1977 may be waived since member was not at fault due to lack of knowledge of divorce during that period. BAQ at dependent rate paid after Febru- ary 1977, to August 1977 may not be waived since the member was aware of the divorce and had an obligation to have the payments stopped or set aside for refund. The issue presented upon an appeal of a waiver denial by our Claims )ivision is whether a member of a uniformed service must be considered partially at fault for an over- payment of basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) at the with dependent rate where the member's wife upon whom the with dependent rate was based, obtained a divorce and, due to distance and lack of communication between the spouses, the member did not learn of the divorce until a year later. In the circumstances of this case the answer is no, and the debt is waived in part.
