An employee who was authorized to perform a permanent change of station incident to a transfer from the Department of the Navy to the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration (NASA), died before reporting for duty at his new duty station. NASA, as the gaining agency, is responsible for payment of any travel and relocation expenses incurred prior to the employee's death. 2.
