  Dear Pr, Schneider:

      Further reference is ad. to your letter of June 4, 1973, in which
 you raquest reconsideration of a settlsant by our Transportation and
 Claims Division dated Hay 31, 1973, that sustained the administrative
 disallovance of your clbm for certain travel expenses in connaction vith
 your temporary duty assnment in Philadelphia, Pennaylvania, during the
 period September 6, 1972, to October 6, 1972.

      The record indicates you ware employed on September 5, 1972, by the
 Albany District Office of thb Internal Revenue Service as an Estate Tax
 Attorney. Your official duty station was designated as feburgh, Now York,

 duration.  Because of the time limdtation, it was not possible for you to

 duty station at Newburgh, New York, and therefore you traveled from your
 howe in Syracuie to Philadelphia. MlolG temporarily assigned in
 Philadelphia, you returned to your residence in Syracuse on 4 weekends
 (8 nonworkdays). At the conclusion of the temporary duty you submitted a
 travel voucher claiming travel expenses and per diem for the aforemen-
 tioned travel.

      Travel expenses from Syracuse to Philndelphia and return were
 administratively recomputed on the basis of travel from your official
 duty station at Uevburgh to Philadelphia and return. Also your claim for
 per diem for your temporary duty station at Philadelphia was administra-

 you spent in Syracuse. lhe adiniatrative noction on your claim was aus-
 tained by our Transportation and Claims Division, which you now appeni.

 your official duty station prinr to your tem-porary duty assignnent in
 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you nhould be entitled to travel expennes id
