Byrd, Jr, to 141)210 United States Senate Dear Senator Byrd: This is in response to your letter of May 7, 1980, concerning the claim of Mr, Charles E. Broashire for reimbursement for food and lodging expenses incurred in connection with his transfer overseas in July 1977. By decisjon 1-196809, May 9, 1980, copy enclosed, we sustained the action by our Claims Division denying the claim. As a civilian employee of the Department of tile Army, Mr. Brookshire was trans- ferred overseas with a reporting data: In August 1977. Ile %'3s dented a temporary quarters subsistence oxpetise allowance under 5 U.S.C. .. § 5724a(a) (3) because that statute proibits payment of such expenses to employeeU transferred overseas. Mr. Brookshire was also eenied the predepaz ture subsistence expense portton of the foreign transfer allowance authorized by 5 U.S.C. § 5924 (1976), since the granting of that allnwance is discretionary with the agency concerned and the Army implementing regulations did not authorize its payment until May 197, almost a year after Mr..3rookshire transferred oyeceeas. We trust this serves the purpose of your inquiry and we regret that we could not rezch a determination favorable to your constituent. A copy of the enclosed decision was mailed to Mr. Brookshire on may 9, 1980. Sincertly yours, uct R. Van CVlo. Milton J. Socolar General Counsel Enclosure II I r
