         Dear Ms. Tatigian:

              This is in response  to your letter of June 26,  1979, your
         reference: F36, MAR-AF,  concerning the relocAtion expenses  and-
         temporary quarters and  subsistence expanses of Mr. John  M. McClure.
         We are not issuing a  decision, since no expenses have  been incurred
         at this time.  However,  the questions you asked seem  to be answered
         by recent decisions of  the Comptroller General,

              Mr. McClure was  transferred from Philadelphia  to Bushkill,
         Pennsylvania, on February  18, 1979.  At the time of his  transfer,
         Mr, McClure's residence  was in Hamburg, Penn6ylvonia,  which is 81
         miles froinBushkill and  84;i'es  from Philadelphia.   You inquire
         whethertr.  McClure  is entitled to reimbursement of  relocation
         expenseh and/or mileage  in lieu of temporary quarters  in connection
         with his transfer, since  the distance between his old  residence and
         new duty station is  3 miles less than the distance between  his old
         residenca and his old  duty station.

              We have enclosed  copies of our decisions Matter ofiarvey   Know)es,
         B-193316', March 12, 1979 (58 Comp. Gen.   o), and 'Matter of Kenneth A.
         Wendland, B-193903, June  19, 1979.  In Matter of Knowles  we held thai.an
         employee was entitled  to relocation expednies upon transfer where*the
         duty stations were 77 miles  apart and his residence was  43 miles from
         the old duty station and  45 miles from the new duty  station.  In MaLter
         of Wendland we held  that an employee is not entitled  to temporary
         quarters and subsistence  expenses unless the distance between  his old
