             necessary authorized expenditures, and the like.  Our                    
             files do not disclose an allocation of these funds."                     
                  Petitioner executed a receipt on or about                           
             September 30, 1993, which states as follows:  "On this                   
             date I, Tony Rodriguez, received $100,000 from the FBI                   
             as witnessed by the two Special Agents of the FBI whose                  
             signatures appear below mine."  At that time, petitioner                 
             actually received a cash payment of $90,000 and the                      
             cancellation of an advance of $10,000 that had previously                
             been made on August 6, 1993, in anticipation of the lump-                
             sum payment.  The receipt for the advance payment that                   
             was executed by petitioner states that it was paid "for                  
             services".                                                               
                  Petitioner expected to receive more than the $100,000               
             from the FBI.  His understanding was that the FBI could                  
             pay him a maximum of $250,000.  He expected the FBI to pay               
             him the maximum amount because the operation had been so                 
             successful.  He later sued the FBI and six agents of the                 
             FBI in the United States District Court for the Eastern                  
             District of Pennsylvania attempting to obtain more money.                
             His suit was transferred by the District Court to the                    
             United States Court of Federal Claims.  See Rodriguez                    
             v. FBI, 876 F. Supp. 706 (E.D. Pa. 1995).  His suit was                  
             unsuccessful.
