Through misunderstanding
many of these employees thought
that they could carry over some
of their 26 days annual leave
coming to them this year, pro-
vided that they used it up by
June 80, 1851. This misunder-
standing arose because of Con-
gress' action in ordering all Fed
eral workers to use their 26 days
annual leave for this year by next
June 80.
But the General Accounting
Office has ruled that, inasmuch as
they already have accumulated 60
days leave. the amount of leave
due them this year is automati-
cally Cancelled. The employees in

fair. since they would have used
up this years annual leave had
they known that they could not
carry it over into next year.
