    On October 21, 1996, C. I. Whitten Transfer Co. requested a review of the General
Services Administration's denial of its claim for an additional payment of $191.65 for
transportation charges in connection with the shipment of freight from Yorktown, Virginia
to Belle Chase, Louisiana.

    The Office of Transportation Audits notified the Board on March 26, 1997, that it had
issued a certificate of settlement in this claim.  On April 22, 1997, C.I. Whitten filed a
motion to dismiss its claim, stating that the referenced claim has been paid.

    Accordingly, the claim is dismissed.
