The Honorable Glenn M. Anderson         ,         /' ,i,-     J5d§6/

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Anderson:

     Further reference is made to your correspondence on
behalf of Mr. David M. De Los Reyes, an employee of the
Department of the Navy, Long Beach Naval Shipyard, who
questions the validity of his indebtedness to the United
States and who claims entitlement to additional per diem
incident to his attending Sonar Maintenance School in
San Diego.

     By travel order dated August 26, 1977, he was authorized
travel expenses, including $20 per diem during the period
September 6, 1977, to March 4, 1978. On October 1, 1977,
he was instructed to move into Government furnished quarters;
however, due to an existing lease obligation, he did not
do so until November 2, 1978. He understood that his per
diem rate would continue to be $20 including the cost of
$4 a day for Government quarters.

     After returning to Long Beach, Mr. De Los Reyes was
informed that his per diem should have been decreased by
50 percent during the time he occupied Government quarters
excluding the amount paid for Government quarters. By
notice of May 4, 1978, he was advised by the Navy Finance
Office, Long Beach, California, that he was indebted in the
amount of $676.49 as his travel advance was in the amount
of $3,440.00 and his total entitlement for travel expenses,
including per diem was $2,743.51.

     He objects to the reduction of his per diem by 50
percent during his occupancy of Government quarters. He
was under the impression that his per diem would continue
to be $20 rather than $10 plus the cost of Government
quarters which was allowed.
