There is no authority in the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) for reimbursing employee for such expenses and reimbursement for purchases are specifically prohibited in allowance for miscellaneous expenses.,, Moreover, since Kalamazoo was never employee's official duty station he was en route to new official ditty station and newly acquired goods may not be shipped at Government expense. 2.
