   This action is in response to a request for an advance decision
from Mr.  Charles B. Mormon, Authorized Certifying Officer,
Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) regarding a voucher submitted by
Mr. Vincent J. Delguercio of that center requesting reimbursement
of $318. 42 representing forfeiture of security deposit plus accumu-
lated interest.

   On May  28, 1976, Mr. Delguercio entered into a lease for an
apartment with Pennant Club Inc., for a term of 1 year beginning
June 1, 1976. Under the terms of the lease, Mr. Delguercio
deposited with the landlord the sum of $300 to act as a security
deposit. The following year Mr. Delguercio renewed his lease
for a term of 12 months. Under this new lease the security deposit
remained the same.  During the term of the renewed lease
Mr. Delguercio accepted a position with the NASA Johnson Space
Center, Houston, Texas, as an Aerospace Engineer. The transfer
was subsequently completed under Travel Authorization No. X45892,
dated December 20, 1977.

   As  a result of the transfer Mr. Delguercio could not comply
with the terms of his lease agreement. On December 28, 1977,
and January 25, 1978, Mr. Delguercio was advised by Pennant
Club Apartments that due to the fact he broke the lease the
security deposit and the interest accumulated thereon were going
to be applied against the balance owed on the lease. The for-
feiture of the security deposit and the interest secured settlement
of the unexpired lease.
