             COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                      WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054S          00



B-192949                 July 12, 1979



Lieutenant Colonel James Z. Metalios,
  USA, Retired
6 Hubbard Circle
Bronxville, New York 10708

Dear Colonel Metalios:

     We refer to your letter dated May 29, 1979, concern-
ing youre-ntitlements to personal and dependent travel j
from Saudi Arabia to the United States and then to Greece
in connection with your retirement from the United States
Army in January 1977.

     You previously-advised us that you intended to appeal
our Claims Division's disallowance of your claim for such
travel and the finding that you were overpaid. Subse-
quently, by letter dated December 28, 1978, you advised
us that you would be out of the country for 90 days and
would not be able to act until you returned. Five months
elapsed and we heard nothing further from you. Accord-
ingly, we proceeded to review the settlement on the basis
of the available facts in our records, and on June 6,
1979, Comptroller General's decision B-192949 was issued,
sustaining the settlement. A copy of that decision, which
includes a review of applicable laws and regulations
affecting your claim, was furnished to you.

     We did not receive your May 29, 1979 letter setting
forth the specific errors believed to have been made in
the settlement until June 11, 1979. Thus, we did not
have the opportunity to review your specific contentions
in the matter prior to the issuance of the June 6, 1979
decision. We have carefully considered your latest letter
and have concluded that the material submitted does not
provide a basis for our revising that decision. However,
the following further explanation and information concern-
ing the points raised in your letter are being furnished.

     With respect to your suggestion that you were con-
sistently misadvised by Army authorities concerning your
entitlements, we do not know exactly what information
