1. ““It is a long-standing fundamental rule of law in this Court that, barring certain extremely narrow exceptions not applicable here, an award cannot be made in a lapsed appropriation claim where no funds lapsed. Where an insufficient amount of funds lapsed, an award is made of the balance remaining only. It is not an infrequent situation that, as with the claims at bar, numerous claims are filed against a lapsed balance insufficient to cover all the claims. When this happens and the Court has actual knowledge of it, it has been our policy to make awards to the earliest filing Claimants until the lapsed balance has been exhausted. We have considered alternatives and have decided that, while this policy is not free from criticism, the alternatives are too impractical, unworkable, or too unfair.””
