She purchased another ticket for $20 cash in order to return to Washington, DoC., and subsequently claimed reimbursement for the additional ticket. We hold that where the employee purchased a replacement train ticket with personal funds because the unserialized ticket previousl%, issued on a GTR was stolen and unavailable through no fault 6f the employee, she may be reim- bursed for the full amount of the replace- ment ticket. The issue presented is whether an employee may be reim-. bursed for the cost of a train ticket she p:rchased to re- place an unserialized AMTRAK ticket stolen from her hotel room. Under the circumstances of this case, we hold that the employee may be reimbursed. The Director of the Accounting Operations .Branch of the Small Business Administration requests an advance decision concerning the reimbursement of an employee who, under authorized travel orders dated April 29, 1901, re- ceived an AMTRAK ticket purchased by a Government Trans- portation Request (GTR) to travel from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and return. While in Philadelphia, the return ticket and other personal items were stoleit froom her hotel room. On May 14, 1981, she pur- chased another ticket for $20 cash in order to return to Washington, D.C. Subsequently, she filed a reimbursement voucher claiming the $20 she apent for the ticket as an expense item. * . 0,-, @ ' %9 rI I . I. I - . S.. .
