Any unestablished person who left the civil service prior to 1 January 1975 is not entitled to preserved superannuation benefits. I understand that the person named had broken service in an unestablished capacity in the Forest Service from 5 December 1966 to 7 November 1969. As the person named left the civil service in 1969 he is not entitled to any preserved benefits in respect of service with the Forest Service.
