Manders, SP4, U.S. Army DIGE ST: -77 D S Member who has furnished copies of travel orders issued several months after claimed temporary duty at Vilseck, Germany, has the burden of providing clear evidence that he actually performed temporary duty before his claim for reimbursement for travel and per diem allowances may be paid. In the absence of such evidence no reimbursement may be authorized. This action is in response to an undated letter received October 16, 1974, from Mr. Patrick R. Manders requesting, in effect, a review of a settlement by the Transportation and Claims Division, General Accounting Office, dated September 19, 1974, which disallowed his claim for per diem and travel allowances during a period of claimed temporary duty at Vilseek, Germany, from May 1-7, 1972, while he was on active duty in the United States Army. The record shows that Letter Order Number 11-170, dated November 29, 1972, issued by Headquarters 1st Armored Division, APO 09326, confirming verbal orders issued May 1, 1972, by the Commanding Officer, directed 14 members including Specialist Fourth Class Patrick R. Manders to proceed on temporary duty to USAREUR Combined Arms Training Center, Vilseck, Germany. Travel was to commence on or about May 8, 1972 from Bamberg, Germany. Government transportation was directed. Mr. Manders' voucher indicated that he performed the temporary duty during the period from May 1-7, 1972, pursuant to verbal orders of his commanding officer. Also, he had indicated that the mode of travel was by privately owned vehicle with departure from Bamberg, Germany, at 0700 hours on May 1. The Transportation and Claims Division denied the claim for per diem and travel allowances on the basis that Mr. Manders had failed to meet the burden of providing documentary and clear evidence as to the performance of temporary duty during the period from May 1-7, 1972.
