Dear Mr. Secretary:

     We refer further to letter dated July 31, 1972, from the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), forwarded here by
letter of August 12, 1972, from the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
Allowance Committee (Control No. 72-32), requesting a decision regarding
the entitlement of Mr. Norman J. Mulloy, a former member of the U. S.
Navy, to reimbursement for the cost of his commercial air transportation
from Saigon, Republic of Vietnam to San Francisco, California, in
March 1971.

     By Standard Transfer Order No. 4906-70, September 16, 1970,
Commander, U.S. Naval Support Activity, Saigon, Personnelman First Class
Norman J. Mulloy, USNR, was ordered to proceed to an intermediate sta-
tion, Naval Station Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines, for separa-
tion processing with his home of record as his ultimate destination.
He was directed to travel by Government aircraft from Saigon to the
Republic of the Philippines.

     At U.S. Naval Station Subic Bay, Petty Officer Mulloy was released
from active duty and discharged on October 16, 1970.  He was paid mile-
age allowances :,or travel from that station to Clark Air Force Base,
Republic of the Philippines, the aerial port of embarkation for the
United States, and from McChord Air Force Base, Washington, port of de-
barkation in the continental United States, to Grosse  le, Michigan, the
place of acceptance for enlistment, to which point he elected to receive
mileage allowances.  Government transportation was available from Clark
Air Force Base to the continental United States.

     However, upon discharge, the former member traveled at personal
expense to Saigon, Republic of Vietnam, married, and then sought Govern-
ment transportation from there to the United States.  Reportedly, be-
cause such transportation would have required separation from his family
during travel, in March 1971 1r.  Iulloy utilized an American commercial
airline for travel from Saigon to San Francisco, California, after
having been assured by Govermuient personnel that he would be reimbursed
for his commercial air fare.

     Mr. Mulloy's claim for reimbursement for his travel from Vietnam to
the United Steces, which was denied by the Navy Re-!ional Finance Center,
