MATTEP OF: Staff Sergeant John A. Jansaea, USA, Retired


DIGBEST:


Reimbursement of expenses incurred by retired
member for travel of wife- roum Germany to
Few York by foreign air carrier is prohibited
by paragraph M2150 of the Joint Travel
Regulations in the absence of an official deter-
mination that travel involved could not have
been performed on a ship or aircraft registered
under the lws  of the United States.


     This action is in response to a letter dated September 14,
 1976, from Staff Sergeant-John A. Jansen, USA, Retired, request-
 ing reconsideration of that part'of asettlement dated August 16,
 1976, by the Claims Division of this office, whiich disallowed his
 claim for reimbursement for the cs'ict of his wife's transoceanic
 travel by foreign air carrier from Germany to the United States
 incident to his retirement from the United States Army.

     By Letter Order Number 1-09-129 dated Stptember 27, 1973,
 the member was relieved from active duty on Dfscember 31, 1973,
 and plaed on the retired list effective Janaixy 1, 1974. These
 retirement orders (which authorized travel to home of selection
 and completion of travel within one year) were amended by orders
 dated October 18, 1973, authorizing concurrent travel for the
 member's wife incident to his retirement. These orders also
 stated that US Army members and dependents may travel at personal
 expense by US Flag Air Carrier over any route they choose and
 claim reimbursement.

     The record shows that the member's wife traveled from
Ludwigsburg, Germany, to Las Cruces, New Mexico (home of selec-
tion), by Lufthansa, a foreign air carrier, and privately owned
automobile between December 19 to 26, 1974.

     By vouc er dated August 16, 1976, our Office authorized
payment of $151.27 to the member for a portion of such travel.
This settlement represented a monetary allowance in lsu of
transportation for travel of dependent wife from Ludwigsburg to
Stuttgart, Germny  (7 miles at $.07) and from JFK Airport, New
York, to Lao Cruces, New Mexico, home of selection (2154 miles
