           File:     B-229180

           Date:      October 25, 1988


           DIGEST

           An employee on extended temporary duty who returns to his
           permanent station is not entitled to per diem at his
           permanent station. Reimbursement for return travel expenses
           may be made only if he submits proper proof that he was
           requested to return for official business.


           DECISION

           We are asked to decide whether an employee on extended
           temporary duty away from his official duty station is
           entitled to per diem and transportation expenses for a
           return trip to his duty station.l/   For the following
           reasons, we hold that the employee is not entitled to per
           diem at his official station, but may be reimbursed for
           transportation expenses and per diem en route upon proper
           proof that he was asked by agency officials to return to his
           duty station for official business.

           Mr. Ralph D. Hendrix, an employee of the National Security
           Agency was performing long-term training duty away from his
           official duty station at Fort Meade, Maryland, in Norfolk,
           Virginia, from January 26 through June 28, 1986. During the
           period Thursday, April 10 through Sunday, April 13, 1986, he
           returned to Fort Meade. Mr. Hendrix claimed transportation
           expenses and per diem for his travel to Fort Meade. He
           claims that agency officials asked him to return to Fort
           Meade to take part in discussions which could not take place
           over unsecure telephone lines. The reason Mr. Hendrix
           claimed per diem was that it was necessary to use motel
           accommodations since his residence was under construction


           I/ The request for decision was presented by
           Mr. Albert De Petro, Finance and Accounting Officer,
           National Security Agency.
