Cambodian worker seeks pay from U S in 1970s embassy project
Chan Sambo, who helped fortify the U.S. embassy in Phnom Penh in 1975, seeks $3,000 to $4,000 owed by the U.S. government. Denied due to lack of “clear and satisfactory evidence,” he reconstructed records and ledgers with help from associates, but the payment would be in Cambodian riels now obsolete. The comptroller general notes the riel is not recognized and any judgment would hold no monetary value. The case remains unresolved despite renewed effort to reopen it.
