OF:   Thomas L. Briggs CTemporary  uarters subsist
      expenses - Cancelled transfer-

  Employee sees reimbursement for 197 days per
  diem in connection with transfer which was later
  cancelled. Employee may be reimbursed for
  expenses which would have been allowed had trans-
  fer been effected. While duty station is not
  changed, employee is treated as if transfer were
  completed including retransfer to former duty
  station. Reimbursement of temporary quarter sub-
