       :ar Misr Kell:

           We refer to your letter of September 20, 1971, your reference AZF:7lm,
       addressed to our Claims Division, forwarding two travel vouchers of
       l.r. W. C. Gaines for reimbursement of subsistence and transportation ex-
       penser incurred by his wife incident to bis illness while on temporery
  ' , duty in Deaver, Colorado. Your letter was forwarded here by the
      Wasbington Office, Internal Revenue Service, with the explanation that it
      was your intent to request an advance decision regarding the allowability
      of Mr. Gaines' claim.

           In his letter of August 11, 1971, addressed to the Regional Fiscal
S     .Management Officer, Southeast Regional Office, Mr. Gaines indicates that
      be was assigned to temporary duty in Denver, Colorado, from February 21,
      1971, through February 26, 1971, and that on February ?6 he became ill-
      and was admitted under emergency conditions to St. Joseph's Hospital.
      His wife was issued a transportation request by the Atlanta office for
      her travel, and traveled to Denver on the 26th and remained there until
      hie release on March 2, 1971, when both returned to Atlanta, Georgia.
      Mr. Gaines states with regard to his illness and the necessity for his
      wife's travel to and stay in Denver:

           Dr. Friedland estimated from the reduction of my hemeglobin
           that the loss of blood from the Initial hemorrhages was approx-
           imatelv one and a half pints. He was unable to determine im-
           mediately if I had a perforated ulcer or not. Had this been
           the case, surgery would have been necessary.

           I bad no. one in Denver who could have authorized medical
           treatment or eurgery for me if vV condition had worsened,
           and I was unable to give such authorization myself.

           Faragraph_6.5/of the Standardized. Government ravel Rei ulations, as in
      effect at the -time of the travel here involved, provides for the contin-
      ustion of per diem expenses and for the transportation of an employee who,
