el- ices than there are recipients of the act.
At the end of the bill add the following
new section:
SEC. 204. None of the funds appropriated
by this or any other Act which are available
during. the fiscal year 1975 for travel ex-
penses, including subsistence allowances, of
Government officers and employees.may be
obligated, after the date of the enactment
of this Act, at a rate which exceeds 75 per-
cent of the rate at which amounts for such
expenses were obligated during the fl WA
year 1974.
Mr. ROTH. Mr. President, on behalf
of 13 of my distinguished colleagues and
myself, I am submitting an amendment
to reduce the amount of Federal funds
spent on travel and transportation.
The cosponsors are Senators MCCLEL-
LAN, BAYIT, BEALL, BIDEN, BROCK, HARRY
F. BYRD, JR., CASE, DOMINICK, METZEN-
BAUM, WILLIAM L. SCOTT, STEVENSON.
TAFT, and TUNNEY.
Specifically, this amendment would
prohibit the Federal Government from
expending more than 75 percent of the
amount expended in fiscal year 1974 for
the travel and transportation of persons.
A recent examination of the Budget by
my staff and the GAO revealed that the
Federal Government will spend almost $2
billion this fiscal year on travel and
transportation to out-of-town confer-
ences, meetings, and other employee
transportation.
With inflation being fed by excessive
Federal spending and with the vital need
to conserve energy, there is absolutely no
justification for the Federal Government
to spend such sums on travel expenses.
This 25 percent reduction in Federal
travel expenses would save nearly $400
million in this year's budget and untold
millions of dollars in energy costs. Such
a move would not only set an example
