COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
. .. WASHINGTON. D.C. 2048
3-176542 November 13, 1972
Mr. Alfred P. Murrah
Director, Federal Judicial Center
Dolley Madison House
1520 H Street, N. W.
The Federal Judicial Center
Washington, D. C. 20005
Dear Mr. Murrah:
This refers to your letter dated July 14, 1972, presenting for our
decision the question of whether the Federal Judicial Center (Center)
may properly reimburse as a necessary expense the travel and transporta-
tion costs incurred by the-Cinter's new appointee to the position of
Director of Continuing Education and Training, Mr. Kenneth C. Crawford,
incident to his relocation from Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D. C.
You refer to the following provisions contained in 28 U.S.C. 625(e),
as added by Public Law 90-219, approved December 20, 1967, 81 Stat. 666:
(e) The Director is authorized to incur necessary travel
and other niscellaneous expenses incident to the operation of
the Center.
The letter of July 14, 1972, states in pertinent part as follows:
The question assumes my determination, concurred in by the
Director of the Administrative Office of tae United States
Courts, the lack of candidates qualified for the extra-
ordinary demands of this unique office constituted a man-
power shortage', that the travel and moving costs actually
offered to the candidate in this case constituted part of a
packa,e necessary to attract a man of extraordinary capa-
bilities and salary potential, and that implicit in 28 U.S.C.
625(3) [(SIC) 625(e)] is the administrative authority to
reimburse an appointee on an analogous basis to that which
would obtain in executive agencies and other agencies covered
by 5 U.S.C. 5721 et se.
