         as an authorized certifying officer in which the ridasn submitted by
M rt. W. Hoard Johnson for raimbursenent of triwel .waensex iu thi wxnt
         of $2,583.10 was held to be not allowable. Ycnxr ptesent request is based
         on additionsl information which bis coe to Jight Ii th#eas.

              Prior to his retiruent on ?ebruary 5, 197.X, Hr. Johnmon was the
         Ragional Forester ulf the Alaska region of the Forest Service with duty
   S     station in Juneau, Alaska. At the t.me of his, .tix'aiwit Hr., Johnson

         time of \ssiguent to duty in AkUaska under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5722.
 . .     'tcoa indkmeted in connection tith your original submission that Hr. Johnson
