                              ORDER

     Claimant, Leroy R. May, an employee of the National Personal Protective Technology
Laboratory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, requested that this Board review the agency's denial
of travel expenses he incurred while on temporary detail to Morgantown, West Virginia.

     On November 20, 2003, the agency informed the Board that it had re-evaluated
Mr. May's claim and would authorize reimbursement of expenses as allowable under the
Federal Travel Regulation and in compliance with the Department of Health and Human
Services' Travel Manual.  On December 1, 2003, Mr. May informed the Board that he
accepted the agency's offer and requested that this claim be dismissed.

     Accordingly, the claim is dismissed.
