MATTER OF:


       THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL

       WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549


DATE:    MAY  5   1976


Captain Earle W. Sapp, USN


1.  Member who is authorized travel by
    privately owned vehicle (POV) as
    advantageous to the Government inci-

    away from his permanent duty station
    in London, England, is not entitled
