          long-standing, ongoing disputes with the Office of Personnel                       
          Management (OPM)2 concerning whether OPM gave him proper credit                    
          towards his annuity for his military service.3  Petitioner claims                  
          that because OPM failed to give him proper credit for certain                      
          military service, his annuity benefits have been less than they                    
          should have been.                                                                  
                In 1986, OPM determined that petitioner was overpaid                         
          annuity benefits for prior periods in the amount of $7,291.                        
          Consequently, OPM began collecting the overpayment by deducting,                   
          or withholding, $202.52 from petitioner's monthly annuity                          
          distributions.  Through this method, as of August 31, 1989, OPM                    
          had collected the entire amount of the overpayment, and the                        
          deductions from petitioner's annuity distributions did not                         
          continue beyond that date.  For various reasons, petitioner does                   
          not necessarily agree that he was overpaid for the earlier years,                  
          nevertheless, through the deductions from his monthly annuity                      
          benefits he "repaid" $1,620.16 to OPM in 1989.  No other                           
          repayments were made by petitioner to OPM during 1989.  No                         
          repayments of annuity benefits, through deductions from                            
          petitioner's pension benefits or otherwise, were made by                           
          petitioner to OPM during 1990 and 1991.                                            



          2OPM is responsible for the administration of the CSRS.
