MATTER OF:    Harry F. Hull - Travel Expenses -
              Effect of Conversion of Appointment

DIGEST:

          A commissioned officer in the Public
          Health Service, while on temporary duty
          in Washington, D.C., enroute to his
          permanent duty station overseas, was
          converted to a Foreign Compensation
          rating under an agreement between the
          Department of Health and Human Services
          and the Agency for International
          Development. Officer seeks reimburse-
          ment for the shipment of his foreign-
          made automobile and for his wife's per
          diem in Washington, D.C. Authorization
          for payment of travel expenses under
          the Joint Travel Regulations was
          administrative error and order may be
          modified to provide for travel expenses
          under the Foreign Service Travel
          Regulations. Since Foreign Service
          Travel Regulations permit payment of
          expenses incurred for the shipment of a
          foreign-made automobile and for
          dependent's per diem incurred at tempo-
          rary duty station enroute to new
          permanent duty station, officer may be
          reimbursed for the total amount of his
          claim.



     Dr. Harry F. Hull, a commissioned officer in the Public
Health Service (PHS), Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), while on temporary duty in Washington, D.C.,
enroute to his permanent duty station in Banjul, The Gambia,
was converted to a Foreign Compensation rating under an
agreement between HHS and the Agency for International
Development (AID). The question presented is whether he may
be reimbursed for the shipment of his foreign-made automo-
bile and for his wife's per diem in Washington, D.C.
As explained below, we hold that Dr. Hull may be reimbursed
the total amount of his claim.
