handle is hein.gao/gaobadlmv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION OF THE UNITED STATUE 4~WASHINGTON. D.C. 20549 FILE: B-212316 DATE: January 25, 1984 MATTER OF: Mohammed Amin Fekrat DIGEST: 1. An employee of United States Information Agency who traveled from Tehran, Iran, to Washington, D.C., in February 1980 and who was first employed by the Agency in Sep- tember 1980 in a manpower shortage posi- tion is not entitled to reimbursement of his travel expenses from Iran since his travel was not related to his selection for employment some 6 months later. 2. Employee may not be allowed payment of transportation expenses and per diem for his family members for travel from Tehran, Iran, to the Washington, D.C. area where there is an unexplained discrepancy between the period of travel shown on the voucher and the tickets submitted by the employee in support of that voucher. Furthermore, the record does not establish that appropriate agency officials properly determined that Iran was the employee's place of residence at the time of his selection for employment. This decision concerns whether Mr. Mohammed Amin Fekrat, an International Radio Broadcaster with the United States Information Agency, may be allowed reimbursement for transportation expenses and per diem for himself and his dependents, including his sister-in-law, for travel from Tehran, Iran, to the Washington, D.C. area in connection with his employment in a shortage category position.1 No part of the employee's claim may be allowed on the basis of the record before us. 1This matter comes before us pursuant to a request for an advance decision by Ms. Esther L. Grant, an authorized certifying officer of the United States Information Agency. 0.) 7
