D.C. 20548 194423 AU DTE: March 31,' 1980 OF: Army Corps o Engineers - mployees' Real Estate Expenses7- Transfers from Overseas Duty Station Employees of Corps of Engineers, Department of Army, who transferred from overseas post in Livorno, Italy, to Berryville, Virginia are not entitled to reimbursement of real estate expenses since both stations are not in United States as required by 5 U.S. C. 5 5724a(a)(4).
