MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


I F®
        THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
        OF   THE UNITED STATES
        WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548

M. Reza Fassihi - Relocation Expenses


Claimant, unemployed and residing at
Alexandria, Virginia, at time of ap-
pointment as architect at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, by Army is entitled only to
travel and transportation expenses
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5723 for new
appointees to manpower shortage po-
sitions, although real estate and
other additional expenses allowed
transferred employees were erro-
neously authorized.  Claimant's
contention that he was improperly
separated from prior D. C. Govern-
ment employment.and should be con-
sidered transferred employee is
disputed and unadjudicated, and GAO
cannot authorize expenditure of Gov-
ernment funds on mere contention that
unjustified personnel action might
have occurred.


    By letter dated December 5, 1975, Mr. M. Reza Fassihi requested
reconsideration of decision B-182716, March 11, 1975, 54 Comp.
Gen. 747.  That decision sustained Certificate of Settlement
No. Z-2495916 issued by our Transportation and Claims Division
(now Claims Division) on January 2, 1973, which disallowed reim-
bursement for expenses incident to sale of a residence in the
amount of $1,937.50 and held the claimant indebted to the Gov-
ernment for $226 previously paid to him in error for expenses
incident to purchase of a residence. In addition the decision
held the claimant liable for amounts paid to him in error for
temporary quarters subsistence expenses and per diem for his
family.

    The record indicates that Mr. Fassihi was employed by the
Washington Technical Institute, an educational institution of the
District of Columbia, from July 15, 1968, to June 30, 1970, and
that there is a dispute between him and the Institute concerning
the circumstances surrounding the termination of this employment.
