Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Inouye:
This is in response to your 3 October 1977 (Q#54)
letter to me concerning CIA first class travel regula-
tions. This is to advise that the Agency's- domestic
travel regulations are based on the Federal Travel
Regulations, Federal Property Management Regulations
101-7 and our foreign travel regulations are adopted
from the Foreign Affairs Manual exercising the Director's
Public Law 110 authority to establish foreign travel
regulations. The Foreign Affairs Manual, as you know,
applies to Department of State, USIA, and USAID.
The language of our updated travel regulations as
.it applies to the travel of our senior officers is basecl
upon the language in the Foreign Affairs Manual (6 PAM
1845.3b(2)), copy attached, that represents State's im-
plementation of the Federal Travel Regulations for both
foreign and domestic travel, for certai-a senior officials
of the Department of State
The updated travel regulation to which you refer
resulted in more restrictive policy for use of first-class
travel. Certain authorities previously delegated to Chiefs
of. Station to approve first class travel have been rescinded,
and approval is now required by a Deputy Director or his
