CONGRESS CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION v. The UNITED STATES.

United States Court of Claims.

March 6, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John T. Koehler, Washington, D. C., for plaintiff. John Paulding Brown, John Geyer Tausig, and Butler, Koehler & Tausig, Washington, D. C., were on the briefs.

Herbert Pittle, Washington, D. C., with whom was Asst. Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark, for defendant.

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and WHITAKER, LARAMORE, DURFEE and DAVIS, Judges.

DAVIS, Judge.

Plaintiff was the potential sponsor of a "Wherry Housing Project" which never came to fruition because the Armed Services Committees of the Congress did not approve the acquisition by the Government of the land needed for the project. As such sponsor, plaintiff expended about $220,500 in preparation, and now seeks to recover that sum on the ground that the defendant failed to use its best efforts to obtain the required Congressional approval.
