MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


1.


DATE: SEP 2 6 1975


Leave  travel entitlements of military
members  assigned consecutive overseas
tours
Proposed revision of Volume 1 of the Joint
Travel Regulations granting leave travel
entitlements authorized under 37 U.S.C.
S 411b (Supp. III, 1973), to members
reassigned to second tours of duty at same
overseas station is contrary to clear lan-
guage of statutory provision which provides
for this entitlement in connection with a
change of permanent station to another
duty station.


           2.  There is no objection to a proposed revision
               of Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations
               to grant leave entitlements under 37 U.S.C.
               § 411b, where because of the critical nature
               of the member's job he is not authorized
               leave travel between permanent station
               assignments provided such travel takes place
               within a reasonable tiie following the change
               of station, and entitlem.2ents do not exceed
               those provided if travel had occurred between
               assignments.

     This action is in response to a request by the Assistant
Secretary of the Uavy (M!anpower and Reserve Affairs) for a decision
as to whether it is legally permissible to amend Volume I of the
Joint Travel Regulations to authorize travel and transportation
allowances in the instances described below. The letter was for-
warded to our Office by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
Allowance Committee, and has been assigned PDTATAC Control
No. 74-45.

     The submission indicates that paragraphs M5500 and IM5501 of
Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations implement new leave travel
entitlements authorized by 37 U.S.C. § 411b (Supp. III, 1973),
which provides as follows:
