MEZ4ORAHDIM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Provision of Quarters in Kind in Foreign Areas
1. In the course of drawing together the various travel
and allowance authorities, I encountered section 214 of the
SR,GC,FA, which refers to a 1946 circular of the Bureau of the
Budget; this is the only reference in those regulations or any-
where else, so far as I can determine, providing for the general
application to civilian employees of the provisions of 5 USCA
118 a.
2. Checking the Bureau of the Budget rules on file in this
Office,. I found that the circular number referenced is now assigned
to a different subject, and that we have no copy of the referenced
circular. I called the Bureau of the Budget and was informed by
them that they had nothing to do with this and had turned the whole
thing over to the Department of State.
3. I then called State and spoke to Mr. Dayton W. Hull,
Chief of the Allowances Division. He was familiar with the
circular and sent me a copy, which is attached to this memorandum.
He advised me that State covered the provision of quarters to
its own personnel in the Foreign Service Manuel but that no
State regulations have been issued covering the provision of
quarters in kind. He said that the responsibility for issuing
such regulations rests with Mr. Hughes, Chief of the Foreign
Building Office of the Department of State, or his deputy,
Mr. McCloy, Extension 4908, but that they had been dragging
their feet on this for some time. Mr. Hull said, in fact, that
he would appreciate my calling Hughes to pick them up on the
matter, but for obvious reasons I did not do so.
