  DECISION                OP THE UNITEO STATES
                          WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20546



  FILE:   B-214904              DATE: September 5, 1984

  MATTER OF:     Roger E. Dexter


  DIGEST:

     1. Employee of Defense Logistics Agency
         stationed in Germany was transferred to a
         duty station in Richmond, Virginia. The
         employee traveled to a place near his
         home of record in California prior to
         traveling to his new duty station in
         Richmond. The employee may not be reim-
         bursed for his travel between Richmond
         and California. If prior to his depar-
         ture from his overseas duty station the
         employee accepts a transfer to a duty
         station within the United States, he is
         entitled only to the travel and
         transportation expenses to his new
         official station.

     2. Employee transferred from Germany to
         Richmond, Virginia, claims travel
         expenses and mileage for three round
         trips from the Richmond area to Norfolk
         in order to pick up his automobile which
         had been transported back to the United
         States at Government expense. The
         employee may not be allowed reimbursement
         for more than one round trip to Norfolk.
         As authorized by the applicable provision
         in Volume 2 of the Joint Travel Regula-
         tions, he may be allowed transportation
         expenses for one trip to the port at
         Norfolk and mileage for one trip back to
         the Richmond area.

     The issue before us is whether an employee who was
transferred from Europe to a permanent duty station on the
East Coast of the United States is entitled to reimbursement
for the additional cost of travel to a West Coast location,
near his place of residence at the time of his assignment
overseas, prior to reporting to his new duty station. In
addition, we are asked whether the employee is entitled to
transportation expenses for more than one trip from his new
duty station to the vehicle port facility to which his
automobile had been shipped at Government expense. The
