MATTER  OF:   Esther 0. Kaloa - Travel and trans-
              portation of manpower shortage
              appointee to first duty station
DIGEST:

1.   Even though employee's position was not
     placed in manpower shortage category
     prior to her appointment, she may be
     paid travel expenses to first duty sta-
     tion, where she executes written agree-
     ment to remain in Government service
     for 12 months after her appointment;
     and Office of Personnel Management
     places position in shortage category
     subsequent to the appointment, and
     advises that its determination of
     shortage covered period of travel.

 2.  Where traveler whose transportation is
     reimbursable by Department of the In-
     tenor  is unaware of regulations which
     generally preclude use of travel agents,
     and which require use of a Government
     Transportation Request for travel ex-
     ceeding $100, purchases airline tickets
     exceeding the $100 cash limitation
     from travel agency with.personal funds,
     GAO will allow reimbursement for the
     cash prurchase in amount not exceeding
     cost of transportation if transporta-
     tion had been purchased directly from
     carrier.

 3.  Manpower shortage appointee, recruited
     in Alaska for position in Washington,
     D.C.., her first duty station, is en-
     titled to reimbursement of transporta-
     tion costs for shipping household goods
     on actual expense basis and without
     limitation based on Government's cost
