      Mr. , awis U- !.usolf, an employee of tle Department
 of State, appeals from a settlement of our Claims Group
 dated March 20, 1981, which denied his claim for adli-
 tional subsistence expenses for the 11-day period lie
 waited for This automobile to be releasqd to him aftor
 shipment from his last dilty station overseas, Mr. Musolf
 waited so he could use the automobile ih traveling oi
 home leave prior to reportinig to his new station, Wash-
 ington, D.C. Since the use of Mr. Musoif's automobile
 was not authorized as advantageous to the Government,
 additional subsistence expenses may not be paid for the
 period of delay.

     The orders issued in connection with Mr. Musolf's
transfer and home leave authbrized transportation of
his privately owned vehicle at Government expense and
all travel expenses authorized by 6 Foreign-.Affairs
Manual, the Foreign Service Travel Regulations. The
orders did not specifically authorize use of a privately
owned vehicle as advantageous to the Government, When
Mr. Musolf was notified of his transfer from Bonn,
Germany, to Washington, D.C., he made special arrange-
ments to have his automobile shipped from Geriny to the
United States several weorf before his doparture by air
so that he would be able to use it in connection with
his home leave before reporting for duty at his new post
in Washington, D.C.   onetheless, when he arrived in the
United States, hio had to wait 11 days before the auto-
mobile was released to him. It is not suggested that
he was at fault for any part of the delayed release.
