In enacting the new annual

for a current year. In view of
this. the Civil Service Commits

leaving the Government, the
commission could credit the en-
ploye with the unused leave

The Controller General replied
that the law does not permit
this and that it would be IL
legal. In most cases. agencies
involved in reduction-in-f force
programs allow employees sufh-

leave. However. in a few in
