Burns Cilef, TTR FL/ESD/AID/W Department of State Agency for International Developmot' Washington, DC, 20523 Dear Mr. Burns: You request a ruling by our OffLee on the legality of shipments of unaccompanied baggage from different origins at different times in con- nection with the home leave of Mr. Sean P. Walsh and family. Under 31 U.S.C. 74 (1976), a disbursing officer or the head of any executive de- partment, and under 31 U.S.C.,82d (1976), a certifying officer, is en- titled to a decision by the Comptroller General on any question of law on a payment to be made.

In conjunction with the home leave, Mr. Walsh was authorized t6 ship 700 pounds of unaccompanied baggage as provided in 6 FAM 147.2a for Mr. Walsh, his wife and two children. Five pieces of unaccompanied baggage, weighing 419 pounds, were shipped from Washington, D.C., to Seoul, Korea, on August 19, 1977. Subsequent to the return of Mr. lWnsh on September 16, three addi- tional shipments of unaccompanied baggage were shipped to Seoul and charged to his home leave and return to post (HL/RTP) voucher. On February 11 or 17, 1978, and March 11, 1978, half a year after the actual HlL/RTP travel, 57 pounds of unaccompanied air freight was shipped from Katmandu, Nepal, -I--- tl. * 'ts
