      Dear Mr. Sedlacek:

          *This acknowledges  receipt of your letter of
      May 4, 1980, and specifically  refers to that por-
      tion of your correspondence  in which you present
      the claim of Mr. Willam   Powlr    As an employee    P
      of the Federal Aviation  Administration, Mr. Fowler
      is presently seeking  travel and transportation ex-
      penses under 5 U.S.C.  § 5722 for two daughters from
      Orlando, Florida,  to Guam in connection with his
      transfer of official  station to Guam in October 1978.
      Mr. Fowler's initial claim  dated August 30, 1979, was

      subsequent grievance  in this matter was also denied
      by the Federal Aviation  Administration on December 14,
      1979.  As a result you  have indicated your desire to
      appeal this matter to our  Office.

           In view of statutory  and regulatory provisions
      relating to our decision-making  authority, we will
      not render a formal decision  to you at this time.
      See 31 U.S.C. §§ 74 and  82d (1976).  However, on
      the basis of the information  provided by you, we
      offer the following observations  on Mr. Fowler's
      claim.

           Your subm-i3sion ihdicates that at the time of
      his official transfer  in October 1978 Mr. Fowler was
      the divorced father of two  teenage girls, both un-
      married, who were residing  with their mother, who
