         Mr. Bruce Flohr
         Deputy Administrator
         Federal Railroad Administration
         Department of Transportation

         Dear Mr. Flohr

              As you know we are currently reviewing the management of the
         Alaska Railroad   Site wrk  in Anchorage, Alaska, has been completed
         and a proposed report to Congress is being prepared.  During the
         course of our audit we reviewed various aspects of the railroad' s
         administration including transportation payments made to railroad
         employees.  This letter concerns relocation allowances paid to the
         railroad' s General Manager, William L. Dorcy. We are bringing the
         matter to your attention now so that it may be proaptly resolved.

              We believe Mr. Dorcy is not entitled to $5,385.59 paid to him
         in connection with his appointment as General Manager, effective
         April 1, 1976, and recormend that you initiate action to collect
         this amount   In addition, you should also consider whether Mr. Dorcy
         should be charged annual leave for excess travel tune from St. Louis
         to Anchorage during the period June 17 to 27, 1976.  His voucher for
         that period should be adjusted to limit reimbursement to travel by
         the most direct route, and to include Mrs  Dorcy' s entitlement for
         travel at 8 cents per mile.  Results of these adjustments could be
         netted against the $5,385 59 of inproper payments.  Our recomendation
         for collection of improperly paid relocation allowances and adjustments
         of other items, is based upon the following.

              The record indicates that by letter dated March 26, 1976, the
         Alaska Railroad Personnel Officer advised Mr. Dorcy that he was
         authorized reimbursement for the following expenses in connection with
         his nmove to Anchorage.

              1.  Movement of up to 11,000 pounds of household goods,
              2.  payment of real estate fees not to exceed $5,000,
              3.  transportation for him and his wife to Anchorage with per
                  diem enroute,
              4.  shipment of one automobile fran Missouri to Anchorage,
              5.  storage oi household goods in Anchorage for up to 30 days,
              6.  temqporary quarters in Anchorage not to exceed 30 days, and
              7.  a house hunting trip for him and/or his wife
