   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), DEVINE, and DeGRAFF.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge.
 
        On  July  29,  1994,  the  parties  to  this  case  filed  a
   Stipulation of  Award.   The stipulation,  which  was amended  on
   August 1, sets out the  following facts:  Under a multiple  award
   Federal Supply Schedule contract, appellant provided a sampler of
   aviator's  breathing oxygen to a Government agency for compliance
   testing and/or inspection.   The contract required the  agency to
   return  the  sampler to  appellant  at Government  expense.   The
   sampler  was  entrusted  to  a  private  courier  for  return  to
   appellant,  but  it  was  lost  en route.    A  General  Services
   Administration contracting officer  determined that appellant  is
   entitled to  $2,237.80 in  settlement for the  value of  the lost
   sampler, and appellant has agreed to accept this amount.
 
        Through  their stipulation, the parties have asked the Board
   to  direct the  Government  to  pay to  the  appellant, from  the
   Permanent  Indefinite  Judgment  Fund,  $2,237.80, plus  interest
   accruing from the date of the claim, August 4, 1993.  The parties
   have represented that (1) they will not  seek reconsideration of,
   or relief from,  a decision which includes such  a direction, and
   (2) they will not appeal the decision.
 
                                Decision
 
        The  appeal is  GRANTED.   The Government  shall pay  to the
   appellant from the Permanent Indefinite Judgment Fund  $2,237.80,
   plus interest from  August 4, 1993,  to the date  of payment,  at
   rates specified by  the Contract Disputes Act of  1978, 41 U.S.C.
     611 (1988).  Rule 36(e).
