We find no statutory or regulatory bar to the proposed flexibility in length of overseas tours of duty, for the purpose of renewal travel expenses. By letter dated June 4, 1980, the Honorable Joseph C. Zengerle, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, requested an opinion of this Office in connection with the following proposal advanced by the Department of the Army for employ- ees who are subject to a 5-year overseas service limitation: The Department of the Army has proposed a change of the JTR, Volume 2, which would allow employees on 36 month tours to take renewal travel within a one year time frame; i.e., 6 months before through 6 months after completion of a 36 month tour. The basis for the change is the fact that under current policy, even with tour reduction, as currently authorized, renewal travel may have to occur when children are in school, thus posing a problem when a family wishes to travel together. We have no objection to the Army's proposal to amend the JTR, Volume 2, so as to accomplish the above-stated re- sult, subject to the limitations stated below. The letter noted that, in accordance with paragraph C4005-3a of Volume 2 of the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), the 36-month period of service prescribed under an initial agreement may be reduced up to 6 monfths for the purpose of beginning authorized renewal agreement travel provided that THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548
