                           THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
  DECISION                 OF THE UNITEO STATES
                           WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20546




  FILE:   B-211701               DATE: November 29, 1983

  MATTER OF:     Lawrence 0. Hatch


  DIGEST:

        The employee, prior to leaving his
        permanent duty station (Fort Meade,
        Maryland), for South Thomaston, Maine, his
        leave point, was authorized travel from
        Boston to temporary duty stations (Los
        Angeles and Santa Barbara, California) and
        return to Boston. Since the authorization
        for temporary duty occurred before
        departure from the permanent duty station,
        he was properly reimbursed actual travel
        expenses not exceeding the constructive
        cost of round-trip travel by a direct
        usually traveled route between the
        permanent and temporary duty stations.

     We decide that the National Security Agency properly
limited reimbursable travel expenses of its employee,
Mr. Lawrence 0. Hatch, who traveled from the point where he
was on annual leave to his temporary duty station and
return, to the expenses he would have incurred had he
traveled by a usually traveled route between his permanent
and temporary duty stations.1

     On July I, 1982, Mr. Hatch received travel orders to
perform temporary duty in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara,
California. The trip was scheduled to begin on August 22,
1982, and continue approximately 5 days. Although his
permanent duty station was Fort Meade, Maryland, the orders
authorized the travel at Government expense to begin and end
at Boston, Massachusetts. Evidently the orders designated
Boston the point of departure and return because he planned
to vacation with his family, as he regularly did each year,
in South Thomaston, Maine, during the period that the
temporary duty was scheduled.



IThe Finance and Accounting Officer, National Security
Agency, requested this advance decision, and the Per Diem,
Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee assigned the
request PDTATAC Control No. 83-13.
