Office .Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO Comptroller
FROM : Acting Chief, Finance Division
DATE: 16 February 1953
SUBJECT: Rate of Per Diem Properly Payable for Air Travel, Outside
the United States
25X1A
25X1A
1. Attention is invited to Attachment "A" wherein the
Finance Officer at 0 requests permission to pay a per
diem rate of p8.00 per day for air travel while traveling within
the area. As will be noted, this request is based
on his interpretation of the language used in the second paragraph
of Section 45 of the Standardized Government Travel Regulations.
Assuming that the language itself expresses the intent of the
Regulation, the Finance Officer is justified in his request for
permission to pay the rate of .0.00 per day.
2. It appears the purpose of the Standardized Government
Travel Regulation is exactly what the title implies, the standard-
ization of travel regulations. Any deviation because the rate of
per diem for two of the countries in the area are the same would
appear to defeat the intent of the regulation. It should be noted
that the per diem rates set in appendix I of the regulations are
subject to adjustment at any time. This fact alone would lead to
confusion since any change of rates for either of the countries
involved would, of necessity, require a reduction to the :6.00 rate
for air travel.
3. The hearings outside of CIA which preceeded the
issuance of the regulation are unavailable to the Finance Division
and would probably aid in a determination of the matter. It has
been informally ascertained that as of 19 January 1953 no decision
has been released by the Comptroller General of the United States
regarding this particular clause of the regulations.
1[. Since this matter involves a policy determination the
question is submitted to you for your consideration and opinion.
This Division has notified the Finance Officer that his request is
being considered.
