DECISION


FILE:  B-183563

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


Y4. P


     This decinion it in response to a request by Mrs. Helga M.
Christopherson for reconsideration of our decision B-183563,
July 14, 1976, whish denied her claim for reimbursement of the
transportacion expenses of round trip between Oakland, California,
and Germantown, Maryland, as part of a house hunting trip incident
to a proposed tran'.fer. The facts of this case were fully stated
in our decision of July 14, 1976, and will not be repeateu except
aP ptr:inent to t ie present discursion of the case.

     The claim was disallowed for the reason that Mrs. Christopherson,
an employee of the Energy Research and Development Administration,
failed to corplete the transfer and chose instead to remain in
Oakland.  The administrative report furnished our Office indicated
that Mrs. Christopherson 'e4cided not to effect the transfer sincc
her husband wa, unwilling to make the move. Mrs. Christopherson
now takes exception to this version of her explanation for not
effecting the transfer to Germantown, and, to the extent that the
explanation as reportsd was dispositive of the case, she requests
reonsideration.

     Mrs. Christopherson has provided us with the following ex-
planation of her actions

          When I accepted'he position of Chief, Executive
          Development Branch, GC-15, in July 1974, I did so
          on  the assumption of a relatively stable employment
          situation in AEC for at least the next year.  I
          was  informed that reorganization legislation involving
          creation of ENDA was virtually dead for the remainder
          of  the 93rd Congress. I had firm understandings with
          the  Director, Division of Personnel, as to the param-
          eters  of the job, supervifion and supervisory rela-
          tionships, and support  or the Executive Development
