         The consecutive 30-day maximum  period for
         temporary quarters subsistence expenses
         does not run during the period that an
         employee is on temporary duty travel and
         his minor son lives with relatives. For
         the purpose of subsistence expenses and
         the 30-day limitation, the soln did not
         occupy temporary quarters while residing
         with relatives, since hs stay with them

while his minor son resided with relatives need not be
