Ousted Diplomat Fights for Pension and Back Pay
Paton Davies Jr., a former U.S. diplomat, seeks pension and back pay after his 5 November ouster. He has $85,779 in back pay plus $9,964 drawn as leave and quarters, while the State Department contends he is ineligible for a pension. Davies argues that officials are authorized to grant a pension and that his separation release should not bar repayment of pension contributions. He filed a 21 page legal brief Wednesday challenging the department’s position.
