MEMORAI1DUM FOR: Deputy Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Residence for Travel Purposes
1. Per our recent conversation, I EIM forwarding herewith a copy of
OGC 67-1240 which indicates the Agency is free by administrative decision
to apply legal residence (domicile) or physical residence within the
meaning of P. L. 110 which authorizes ahlpment of effecte of an overseas
resignee to "residence at time of appointment." OGC also concurred in
the Task Force report which defines "permanent place of residence" in
Proposal 4 (overseas resignees).
2. There is attached a copy of FAN 125.9 which is Utate's regula-
tion providing for the payment of the travel and transportation costs of
resignees and retirees to their designated place ef resiaence in the
United States. With regard to DDP's recent reaction to the proposed revi-
sion of Travel, please note that State uses constructive costs
the nearest port of entry in the Uhited etates only for resignees and (tATINTL
tirees who have no designated place of residence. Since the proposed
more nearly conforms to the State syetem than what I understand to be
the position of the Clandeatine Serviaea, we should keep in mind that
adoption of the DDP position would serve to create a distinction between
the travel rights If an examination of
the actual comment? of the Clandestine services bears out this observa-
tion, we should consider a tightening up of administrative procedures to
avoid frequent last minute changes of an employee's permanent place of
residence immediately preceding separation as an alternative to the DDP
proposal.
3. As mentioned the other day, the Army and Navy anthorize travel
from overseas for retirement or separation to "place of *actual residence
at time of overseas assignment or transfer." The Army defines place of
actual residence as a fixed or permanent residence where dependents and
effects maintained at time of assignment or transfer (not necessarily
place of employment or temporary address on SF 57). Factors include
property, length of residence, voting registration, place taxes paid,
etc. Desire of employee to establish different residence will not be
considerer ba:y or designating actual place of residence. When
e5f1A4- -
appointee 4new an of hire or duty station different from actual resi-
dence, both will be specified in agreement.
4. In reviewing the various options available for tefining resi-
dence for travel purposes, Mt. Echols and later on the Task Force chose
the phrase "permanent place of residence" as better terminology than
actual place of residence, domicile or legal residence, tesignated place
of residence, home, place of residence at time of appointment, etc.
All of these terms were deemed to have certain limitations, have certain
associations in the minds of different people and to some extent have
been the bases for confUsion or varying interpretations. We wanted to

define within the regulations a new term, tree or agy previous involvement,
which could be used more or less as a standard. In essence, adoption of
the definition permanent place of residence would, entail the designation
by an employee at the time of his appoistment and each time he went over-
sees an address to be used for determining return travel rights and
certain other purposes as stipulated in Agency regulations. As precisely
defined in Proposal 4 of the Task Force, permanent place of residence
would normally mean fixed or permanent abode at the timv of designetion
but the definition would allow the employee to justify and receive
administrative approval of some other plaee as his permanent place of
residence. E1amples might include the designation of % place other than
where an employee had been residing in an apartment or room or an intended.
