Pangelinan - Real Estate Expenses Transfer from Overseas Duty Station DIGEST: Civilian employee of Department of Army who transferred from overseas post at Donnerberg, Germany, to Lathrop, California, is not en- titled to reimbursement of real estate ex- penses since both stations are not in the United States as required by 5 U.S.C. S 5724a(a)(4). Employee's contention re- garding return rights under 10 U.S.C. S 1586 is not supported by the administrative record and is not material to disposition of the claim. Mr. Ignacio J. Pangelinan, a civilian employee of the Department of the Army, has requested reconsideration of our Claims Group's adjudication of March 31, 1981, dis- allowing his/claim for reimbursement of real estate ex- penses incurred in the sale of a residence on Guam and the purchase of a residence in California incident to his transfer to Sharpe Army Depot, Lathrop, California. While Mr. Pangelinan indicates disagreement with the denial deter- mination of our Claims Group, he points to no factual error and has cited no legal precedent which would indicate a mistake of law. Thus, on the basis of the administrative record before us, we are sustaining our Claims Group's action. The record shows that Mr. Pangelinan's official duty station from October 14, 1976, until May 8, 1978, was at the Defense Communications Station in Donnerberg, Germany, from which he transferred in June 1978, to the Sharpe Army Depot in Lathrop, California. In connection with this transfer Mr. Pangelinan sold a house he owned on Guam in November 1978, and purchased a house in Manteca, California, in March 1979. Under these facts, Mr. Pangelinan sought reimbursement for real estate transaction expenses. Section 23 of Public Law 89-516, 80 Stat. 323, July 21, 1966, now codified in 5 U.S.C. § 5724a (1976), authorizes reimbursement of certain expenses associated with the sale
