1. Your memorandum genera4ly posee the question of' whether a
traveier who is authorized to tietvel by privately owned aetomeb3.1e
(hereinafter referred to as 3.)0.4 "net to exceal cost by comet; eerrier"
should be charged annual leave in the auturt f the time which con?
stitutes the difference betweeni the actutl- travel time aid the time -
which would have been required lo travel by the desighatel) COMM
carrier. We are informed that 4 t geteneilly ha e been the practice within
the Agency to charge this amount oef tis the annual leeee of travelers
traveling under such an autherieeelea?
2. This practice apparently has preaeoded en the theory that the
maintenance of the traveler in 4 C UtY t AV:3 .fcr this differentiai.
represents an excess "cost" to tie gevaealent within the waning et
the phrase, "not to exceed cest.iby eemenen earrler", We have serieus
reservations as to the cor cti of thie imputation. While we can
conceive of instances in which Oda an ex' ad empb.esize EnteesLi,
cost might be intrelved, also we leen :orce V: o aa ta which it would
not. Additionally, the language enaer td erat ion, en terms , makes
no mention Of annual leave, but Oeeme rathee to treat an ether clearly
defined aubject and in a clearly under E, t
