TO THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY:
REFERENCE IS MADE TO LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 21, 1955, FILE PERS B 723-MJZ 286555/1100, FROM THE CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL, CONCERNING INCREASED RENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE PAYMENTS MADE TO LIEUTENANT COMMANDER HERBERT B. M. HARRIS-WARREN, 286555, USN, AS FOR AN OFFICER WITH A DEPENDENT MOTHER FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1945, TO JANUARY 28, 1949. THESE PAYMENTS WERE QUESTIONED IN REPORTS OF INVESTIGATION, COPIES OF WHICH WERE TRANSMITTED TO YOU WITH OUR LETTERS OF APRIL 30, 1951, AND NOVEMBER 10, 1955.
IN A LETTER ADDRESSED TO US ON DECEMBER 11, 1956, THE OFFICER HAS FURNISHED A DETAILED EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF HIS MOTHER'S FINANCIAL STATUS DURING THE PERIOD THE QUESTIONED PAYMENTS WERE MADE AND, IN EFFECT, REQUESTS FURTHER CONSIDERATION. UPON REVIEW OF THE MATTER IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT THE RECORD, AS NOW SUPPLEMENTED, DOES NOT ESTABLISH THAT THE MOTHER WAS NOT IN FACT DEPENDENT ON HER OFFICER SON FOR HER CHIEF SUPPORT DURING THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1945, THROUGH JANUARY 28, 1949.
ACCORDINGLY, NO FURTHER ACTION NEED BE TAKEN TOWARD RECOVERY OF THE INCREASED ALLOWANCE PAYMENTS MADE TO COMMANDER HARRIS-WARREN.
