                             This is in reply to your leter of August 18, 1972, with
                        encl6sures, reference 18DsDCTlesf, forwarded to our Office by
                        the Commanding Officer, Examination Division, United States Marine
                        Corps Finance Center, Kansas City, MLssouri, for a decision as to
                        whether a voucher submitted by Mrs. Sue D. Smith, an employee of
                        the UniLted States Mrine Corps, for travel expenses incurrUid by
                        her in connection with a temporary duty assicinent during a
                        period in which she was in a sick leave status may properly be paid.

                             The record indicates that on Juneo22, 1972, Mrs. Smith
                        submitted au application for disability retirement on tho basis
                        that she was physically unable to perform the duties of her
                        position. On the same basis she requested on June 22, 1972,
                        that she be granted sick leave until June 30, 1972, and thereafter,
                        be placed in a leave without pay status,   ier request was approved
                        and the was placed in a sick leave statue from June 22, 1972, to
                        June 30, 1972, and in a leave without pay status from July 1, 1972,
                        to August 17, 1972, the date that approval of her disability
                        retirement was apparently received,

                             Howwver, by a travel authoizatio'n issued June 13, 1972,
                        Mrs. Smith was authorized to travel from Parris Island, South
                        Carolina, to Chicago, Illinois, f.or a teporary duty assig=neut
                        of about 7 days duration with travel to cormnence an or about
                        June 24, 1972.  On June 22, 1972, Mrs. Smith was issued a
                        Coverment travel request for the authorized travel.    In accordance
                        with 'the travel authorization of June 13, 1972, Mrs. eSmith used
                        the travel request to travel to Chicago on June 24, 1972, and to
                        return to Parris Island on June 30, 1972.   Since Mrs. Smith was
                        officially In a sick leave status prior to and during the period
                        of travel and in a leave without pay status after the travel, you
                        question whether she may be properly reimbursed for the expenses
                        at thlis travel.

                                                                   LecLL/c
