Massarini %Shipment of Household Goody- Excess Weight A National Security Agency employee after transfer to Frankfurt, Germany, purchased goods believing he could later ship them home at Government expense when reassigned to the United States because a weight limitation of 2, 750 pounds had been removed from 2 JTR paras. C 7052-lb and C 7053-3 effective July 1, 1972.

When Mr. Massarini transferred to Frankfurt in June 1972, his orders limited his shipment of household goods to 2, 750 pounds in accordance with 2 Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) para. C 7052-lb (change 79, May 1, 1972). That regulation states that an employee with dependents is limited to- shipment of 2, 750 pounds of household goods when he is assigned to a station where he is to occupy quarters furnished with Government-owned furnishings.
