                           quarters subsistence expenses based
                           on son's occupancy of temporary
L                          quarters at old station where son did

                           order to complete semester of study
                           at college. Determlnation as to what
                           constitutes temporary quarters is
                           not susceptible of precise definition
                           and must be decided on basis of
                           particular facts involved and intent

                  Certifying Officer, Federal Mlediation and Conciliation
                  Service, Washington, D.C., as to whether Mir. Richard P11.

                  1981 for the fall semester, It is reported that
                  Hr. Bible's son commuted from his residence daily,
                  occasionally walking the distance. Because of his
                  desire to allow his son to complete the semester
                  already in progress, fir. Bible made arrangements for
                  his wife and son to move into an apartment effective
