Reloc&tion allowances paid to the General Manager of
the Alaska Railroad were reviewed in the course of a general
audit by GAO. Findings/Conclusions: He wav not cztitled to
$5,385.59 paid to his in connection with his appointment and
relocation from the continental United States to Anchorage.
Despite the determination by management and legal counsel of the
Federal Railroad Administration (PEA) that reimbursement was
valid, relevant provisions ot the Federal Travel Regulation here
disallow the following costs: per dies of spouse; house-hunting
trip of spouse; temporary living allowance; miscellaneous
expenses; certain real estate fees for sale and purchase of
residences; subsequent travel between new and old duty stations;
and travel costs by automobile that exceed those of common
carrier. Furthermore, excess travel time should be charged to
annual leave. Recommendations: These erroneous payments are not
waivable, and any payments to his which exceed his entitlements
should be recovered. (DJM)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxob0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
