hear her appeal under the uniform services employment and reemployment rights act or userra there are two reasons why we believe the decision should be regarded first in basco versus united states requires reverse the bosco case was not cited in either of my theories had not been cited to the board in this i'm sorry or what general language are you saying doesn't come with the general language that says no other such and applies to these employees should be ignored because it's broad what i'm saying referring to with the language of the general statute and the same as from language in the statute before ross which says notwithstanding any other condition of  any of those bases or what's the difference between conyers and this case it's the same stance you were dealing with how do you get around the holding of conic by this way  that it applies to any general conflicting statute the court found that the hearsay provision is very specific applied to a specific class federal employee a specific class of g s a employees and that this specific subsequent statute overrides conflicting language in generally in just a more general statute such as you share so and in fact  there is different from the other personnel statute that we cited here i mean the other side makes the argument well it's one of their arguments in the breeze or almost as a public policy and therefore inferring that it was legislated intent that we could one more easily see that congress wanted to give this new agency discretion over the day to day operations but not as easy as readily see why congress would have wanted to take away that other protection f circumstances the facts in this case how does that work let's assume your therapist was so let and let's assume for the sake of argument that this person was removed legitimately for misconduct so it's me and i and i you know the boy or finds out i stole all this money so he's getting ready his proposed notice of removal and in the midst meantime i'm called up for duty if you see or apply than does that preclude the agency from taking any action against me and till a year from now when i come back so they have to wait a year then when they reappoint me then they can fire me is that the difference as a practical matter between whether or not is there applies or doesn't apply conyers and therefore is precedence which now virals us a nice the corner undertake to change it in its own precedent perhaps we could have gone the other way with recognizing as we've been discussing that there any other provision of law they be the provisions relating to veterans are not within that context of the package of employment law which which the statute itself the secretary being accountable to the president in turn is accountable to the american people and it's a discretionary notwithstanding any provision of all the undersecretary of transportation or security men employ appoint discipline terminate and fix the commutation terms and conditions of employment in federal service for such a number of individuals acting under secretary determines to be necessary to carry out the screening functions of the undersecretary under set up an administrative review this but is there or is there any ruling by the undersecretary saying that certain stanchions will continue to apply despite this notwithstanding yes what statute title addition the under secretary entered into a memorandum of understanding with the office special counsel and that allows for whistleblower claims to go to the office special coun the active duty the fact in this case was follows this baby was called duty at that time there was no disciplinary action pending against her five weeks later while she was on active duty she and it was all the what the court said was that one section of the contract lands and that's the case the grafters intends to overturn or language in another and earlier statute were that they were doing which is not supported by legislative history indicating congressional intent to do so so what we're arguing is that the the security of this country usera by serving to build a participant in the uniformed services and protecting the jobs they lead and obviously the aviation transportation security act for
