MATTER  OF: James A. Ferguson


DIGEST:  1. Civilian employee of Air Force shipped
            mobile home incident to permanent
            change of station after receiving agency
            assurances that total cost would be
            reimbursed.  Cost of shipment exceeded
            employee's maximum entitlement under
            5   S.C.   24 which limits reimbursement
          -Ato aountA#    oyee would have received
             for shipping and temporary storage of
             11,000 pounds of household effects.
               E oee may  ot receive in excess of

             seeks waiver of indebtedness arising
             because travel advance exceeded allow-

             since authority under 5 U.S.C. 5584 does
             not extend to waiver of travel or relo-
             cation costs.


     Mr. James A. Ferguson, a civilian employee of the Air
