Discussion
Mr. Morgan served as an active duty Naval Reserve Officer
from 1962 until his involuntary release from active duty
in 1970. Upon his separation from the Navy, Mr. Morgan was
entitled to transportation of his dependents at Government
expense from his last, permanent duty station to his home
of selection.
Although his last, permanent duty station was in Guam, he
was temporarily reassigned to Long Beach, California, for
separation. His wife and child, who had been residing with
him in Guam, accompanied him to California at Government
expense. In 1971, following his release, they were trans-
ported from California to Honolulu, Hawaii, his home of

selection, again at Government expense. Because his
assignment to Long Beach was only temporary, however,
he was entitled to transportation of his dependents only
from Guam, his last permanent duty station, to Honolulu,
his home of selection. Thus, he incurred a liability of
$940 to the Government for the transportation provided to
his dependents in excess of that authorized.
The enrolled bill would relieve Mr. Morgan of his liability
to repay the United States the sum of $940 and, furthermore,
would authorize payment to him of any amount received or
withheld from him on account of his indebtedness.
In its enrolled bill letter, the Department of the Navy states:
"It appears that the claim against Mr. Morgan arose
through no fault of his own. There is nothing in
the records of this Department to indicate that he
was not acting in good faith. Accordingly, the
Department of the Navy has no objection to approval
of the enrolled enactment, S. 1276."

Dear Mr. Ash:
Your transmittal sheet dated October 3, 1974, enclosing a facsimile of an
enrolled bill of Congress, S. 1276, "For the relief of Joe H. Morgan,' and
requesting comment of the Department of the Navy, has been received.
The purpose of S. 1276 is to relieve Mr. Morgan of liability for a $940.00
indebtedness incurred as a result of travel expenses paid by the government
for unauthorized transportation of his dependent wife and child.
Mr. Morgan was an active duty Naval Reserve officer from March 4, 1962, until
he was involuntarily released from active duty on June 30, 1970, in the grade
of lieutenant commander. Lieutenant Commander Morgan was serving as a
member of the staff of Commander Landing Ship Squadron Three, homeported
in Guam, when he was ordered on temporary duty to the continental United
States for separation. At that time, he and his dependents, who had been
residing with him in Guam, were issued space-required government contract
air transportation from Guam to Norton Air Force Base, California. Lieutenant
Commander Morgan was subsequently released from active duty at the U.S. Naval
Station, Long Beach, California. In June 1971, he elected Honolulu, Hawaii,
as his permanent residence and was issued government contract surface transpor-
tation for himself and his dependents from San Francisco, California, to
Honolulu, Hawaii.
In accordance with government travel regulations, Lieutenant Commander Morgan
was entitled to transportation of his dependents at government expense only
from his last permanent duty station (Guam) to his home of selection (Honolulu).
The cost of the transportation furnished his dependents from Guam to Norton Air
Force Base and from San Francisco to Honolulu in excess of the cost of the
authorized travel from Guam to Honolulu is the source of the government claim
against Lieutenant Commander Morgan.
It appears that the claim against Mr. Morgan arose through no fault of his
own. There is nothing in the records of this Department to indicate that
he was not acting in good faith. Accordingly, the Department of the Navy
has no objection to approval of the enrolled enactment, S. 1276.

Joseph Jr.
