MATTER OF:


DIGEST;

            the basis of a fraudulent travel
            voucher elalving reimbursement for
            travel for dependents upon a permanent
            change of station move that had not
            been performed, entitlement to such
            allowance is subject to the scrutiny
            of the Court of Claims and possible
            forfeiture under 28 U.S.C. 2514 (1970),
            even where there is a reclaim for travel
