The primary issue of this appeal is whether there was a valid termination of the lease by the tenant under the Peace Corps clause. We hold that there was not. The clause, which was typed on the back of the lease, was obviously negotiated by the tenant because of the possibility that in his employment he might be subject to transfer before the expiration of the lease term. It should not be interpreted, however, to include a transfer from the city resulting from the acceptance of a new job with a different agency, and in our opinion travel orders to another city for the purpose of completing the tenant’s assignment in the Peace Corps was not such a transfer as was contemplated by the parties at the time the lease was signed. 2
