 FILE:   3-181629                    DATE:     JUL  16 1975

 MATTER OF: Travel allowance upon retirement -
                 Colonel Mativin J. Berenzveig, USA, Retired

DIGEST:     Travel of a member of the uniformed services,
            and his dependents, in contemplation of the
            member's retirement from the service, to a place
            at which he spends less than a week surveying
            the job market does not show an intent to estab-
            lish a home, and will not be considered travel
            to a selected home upon retirement for entitle-
            ment to travel and transportation allowances.

     This action is in response to a letter dated May 24, 1974, from
Colonel Marvin J. Berenzweig, USA, Retired, constituting an appeal
from a Transportation and Claims Division settlement dated March 26,
1974, disallowing his claim for dependent travel from last duty sta-
tion to requested place of retirement pursuant to Letter.Orders
Number D2-443, dated February 13, 1973, issued by the Office of the
Adjutant General, Department of the Army, Washington, D.C.; Special
Orders Number 37, paragraph 4, Headquarters, United States Army,
Pacific, dated February 23, 1973; and Special Orders Number 48,
paragraph 2, Headquarters Fort MacArthur, San Pedro, California,
dated March 12, 1973.

     Colonel Berenzweig was authorized permissive travel for
himself from his last permanent duty station in Hawaii to his
requested place of retirement, Fort MacArthur, California,
pursuant to Special Orders Number 37, which also authorized
concurrent travel for his dependents to their point of debarka-
tion in the United States.

     The record shows that Colonel Berenzweig accompanied by his
dependents traveled from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Los Angeles,
California, on March 7, 1973, utilizing Transportation Requests
provided by Headquarters, United States Army Support Command,
Hawaii.  The record indicates that Colonel Berenzweig returned to
Hawaii on March 11, 1973.  Colonel Berenzweig indicates in his
appeal that the record is in error in that he actually returned
to Hawaii on March 13, 1973, the effective date of his retirement.
In any event it appears that he spent less than a week in Los
Angeles before returning to Hawaii.
