 IDear Mr. Powell:

     Thin is in furthor reference to your letter of July 31, 1973,
requesting reconeideration of the dicallowane by our Transportation
and Claimj Division in Settlement Certificate dated June 29, 1973,
of your-laim for $-additional per diem alowsnc7 in connection
ith your trip to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Norfo; , Virginia, on
December 11, 1972.

     rhe record indicates that Naval Ship Engineering Center, Hyatt.-
vili, Maryland, issued Travel Order Ilo. 300D9R on December 8, 1972,
directing you to proceed to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Nlorfolk,
Virginia, on or about December 11, 1972, for approximately 2 days
temporary dnty to participate in a technical audit of thu conversion
of the U.S.S. Indeendence (CVA-62). Pursuant to these orders you
departed your official station at 1 p.m. sad arrived at Washington
National Airport at 2 p.n. You departed via commereial aircraft at
3:20 p.m. and arrived in Horfolk at 4 psm. The Department of the
Navy in processing your voucher, No. F3244, limited your per diem
allowance for December 11, 1972, to 1/4 day or $6.25 on a constructive
travel basis as though you had taken a later co=mercial flight that
departed Washington, D. C. at 7445 p.m. and arrived in Norfolk at
8:45 p.m. le reason given by the Department for this limitation was
that you had provided no evidence of official necessity requiring a
departure earlier than that provided in the contructive travel
schedule, which wan considered reasonable for a trip of so short a
distance. Our Transportation and Claims Division determined that
the action of the Department of the Navy in requiring the later de-
parture was apparently not unreasonable or arbitrary in view of the
provisions contained in paragraph C 1051, Volume 2, Joint Travel
Regulations (JTR), vhich state:

                a.

                                                                                  I
