DECISION


       FILIF: B-188366

II     MATTER OF:


       DIGEST:


     This action is a response to an appeal by Mr. John J. Fischer
of our Claims Division settlement dated November 9, 1976, dis-
allowing his claim for reimbursement of expenses incurred by him
in connection with his transfer from Ketchikan, Alaska, to Letroit,
Michigan.  The Claims Division settlement disallowed the claim
because the record did not appear to evidence a clear administra-
tive intent to transfer Mr.Fischer to Detroit at the time the
claimed air travel expenses were incurred.

     Prior to travel orders being issued on October 23, 1973,
authorizing Mr. Fischer's transfer to Detroit, Mr. Fischer reports
that he was offered a position as an Equal Opportunity Specialist
