FILE:    B-185376

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


THE COMPTR_)LLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548


It


     This action is in response to a request by Mr. W. Smallets,
an authorized certifying officer of the National Security Agency
(NSA) for a decision regarding the propriety of reimbursing
Henry J. Kessler, an NSA employee) for subsistence expenses
while occupying temporary quarters incident to a permanent change
of duty station. Originally NSA denied $986.38 of Mr. Kessler's
total claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses, and it
is that amount which is now being questioned.

     'On transferring from Cheltenham, England, to Fort Meade,
Maryland, Mr. Kessler and his family moved into the Holiday Inn
in Laurel, Maryland, on July 25, 1975. NSA has reimbursed the
employee temporary quarters subsistence expenses for the eight
days they resided there. On August 2, 1975, Mr. Kessler's wife
and three children moved into an apartment in Rehobeth Beach,
Delaware, approximately eighty miles from Laurel. During their
two week stay in Rehobeth, Mr. Kessler lived with an elder son
whose residence was in Laurel. When the renovations to their
home were finally completed on August 15, 1975, Mr. Kessler and
his family moved into their new residence, also in Laurel. NSA
denied reimbursement to Mr. Kessler for his family's temporary
quarters subsistence expenses incurred between August 2 and
August 15, and Mr. Kessler has appealed this determination.


mDECISION


                  DATE: JUL 2 3 1976

Henry J. Kessle-r - Subsistence _eipensesQ  'i
while occupying temporary quarters

Employee's family occupied temporary
quarters for eight days in Laurel,
Maryland, where their new residence
was located. For the following two
weeks they moved into an apartment
in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, approx-
imately eighty miles from Laurel.
Employee is entitled to be reimbursed
for his family's subsistence expenses
during this two week period because
there is no evidence in the record to
indicate that their occupancy of tem-
porary quarters was not directly
related to the employee's transfer of
duty station.
