Dear Captain Trainen:

     We refer to your letter dated August 25, 1972, with enclosures,
reference ACE, assigned )£IATAC Control Ao. 72-61, which r4sta an
advance decision as to whether the claim of
               for retmbursei-ent of expenses associated with the sale
of a dwelling at his old offiial station iry 'e certifted for payment
under the circtwtstances bereinafter described,

     The record shows that by Travel Order No. A-2246, dated   ay 26,
1972,             was authoried a change of his official duty station
Cr04 Bark-dale  ir Force Uase, Louislan, to Offutt Air Force Lose,
Nebraska.

     Th propriety of payment of the claim is administratively questioned
because the subject dwelling at t1 old official station for which
            requests relibarseent of real estate expenses was not his
actual residence at the tim he was first definitely told of his pending
transfer to his new duty station.

     In this regard the record reveals that              received a letter
dated teptwber 30, 1971, frm Colonel Richard i. D'yle, stating in per-
tinent part that-

     1. Ln 22 July 1971, you received notice in writing fro me
     that the Nuiabered Air Forces, or the internediate co-riands,
     are ia the throes of a planned reorgization. I am presently
     in receipt of a letter frm Headquaxters SAO, dated 17 Septem-
     ber 1971. iubject: Intermediate     commfand Reorganization. In
     this letter, it pointed out that 1.gA sibilit .AiLs thet
     gr.ymay, tAkj o244e when workload and like functions are
     transferred to that headquarters. it is my belief, as well as
