The employee is not entitled to reimbursement for his travel expenses since neithefExecutive Order 11491 nor the agreement between the agency and the union authorizes\ reimbursement for travel expenses under these circumstances. This decision is in response to a request dated July 9, 1979, from the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) for a ruling whether Mr. Henry J. Kaiser may be. reim- bursed travel expenses incurred while -attending a board of review at the request of another employee. A board of review was held on November 16, 1978, in Washington, D.C., for the purpose of deciding the operational certification of Mr. Francis Christian, an employee of the Federal Aviation Admini- stration (FAA), pursuant to FAA procedures. The.board of review consist's of three members and according to FAA procedures, Mr. Christian was entitled to select one person to represent him as a member of the board of review. He selected MTVr. David Trick an officer of PATCO, who would have been reimbursed for his travel expenses under FAA procedures if he had been an employee of the FAA. Mr. Christian also had an attorney representing him at the hearing and Mr. Christian asked Mr. Henry Kaiser, an employee of the FAA in Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the board of review. /Before attending, Mr. Kaiser was advised by the FAA that he would not be reimbursed for expenses related to attending the meeting. Mr. Kaiser incurred an expense of $111. 75 for round-trip travel from Atlanta to Washington. Mr. Kaiser submitted a request for payment through the FAA and his claim was denied. Mr. Kaiser then submitted a grievance on the matter and this was also denied. Since the issue raised is whetherAe FAA may pay the claim, the PATCO submitted the case to te Comptrt r General for a decision. For the following reasons, we uphold the denial by the FAA.
