[Former FAA Employee's Claim for Vehicle Transportation Costs]

A retired Federal Aviation Administration employee requested reimbursement for costs he incurred transporting a vehicle he purchased while he was overseas to his place of retirement. GAO held that the employee was not entitled to reimbursement, since he did not: (1) purchase the vehicle for use in a foreign country; and (2) take possession of it while he was overseas. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
