Sec. 5725. Transportation expenses; employees assigned to danger 
        areas
        
    (a) When an employee of the Government is on duty, or is transferred 
or assigned to duty, at a place designated by the head of the agency 
concerned as inside a zone--
        (1) from which his immediate family should be evacuated; or
        (2) to which they are not permitted to accompany him;

because of military or other reasons which create imminent danger to 
life or property, or adverse living conditions which seriously affect 
the health, safety, or accommodations of the immediate family, 
Government funds may be used to transport his immediate family and 
household goods and personal effects, under regulations prescribed by 
the head of the agency, to a location designated by the employee. When 
circumstances prevent the employee from designating a location, or it is 
administratively impracticable to determine his intent, the immediate 
family may designate the location. When the designated location is 
inside a zone to which movement of families is prohibited under this 
subsection, the employee or his immediate family may designate an 
alternate location.
    (b) When the employee is assigned to a duty station from which his 
immediate family is not excluded by the restrictions in subsection (a) 
of this section, Government funds may be used to transport his immediate 
family and household goods and personal effects from the designated or 
alternate location to the duty station.
