Pursuant to your request of December 8, 1969, we have examined the circumstances under which the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) authorized the Iowa State Economic Opportunity Office to use OEO grant funds to pay the cost of moving Mr. Robert F. Tyson's household goods fiom McLean, Virginia, to Ankeny, Iowa. The records show that Mr. Tyson moved to Washington, D.C., in January 1967 to take a position as Administrative Assistant to Congressman Fred Schwengel of Iowa and that in June 1968 Mr. Tyson accepted an assignment in the Congressman's Davenport, Iowa, office. Mi. Tyson has stated that after he accepted the assignment, his house- hold goods were placed in storage in McLean, Virginia, and that he allowed the lease on his Washington, D.C., apartment to expire because the Iowa assignment was temporary in nature and, upon its completion and his return to Washington, D.C., he planned to live in a different location.

Therefore a determination of the coverage of the guideline may be made only on the basis of the facts of the individual case. In this case Mr. Tyson leased an apartment in Washington, D.C., in January 1967 and his household goods remained there until they were placed in storage in McLean, Virginia, in June 1968. Although Mr. Tyson leased an apart- ment in Bettendorf, Iowa, for 6 months in June 1968 and worked in
