MEMORANDUM FOR: Project Director
SUBJECT : Per Diem at Base B
1. I know that you share my-concern over the :numerous recent cables
we have received from I regarding what he has referred to as
our "discriminatory administrative reduction of per diem" for officers and
Government civilians there.
25X1A
2. The presently authorized maximum per diem for Turkey is $8.00
per day for personnel in a TDY status. We are paying officers and Government
civilians at Base B at the rate of $6.00 per day, which rate was established
prior to Detachment B's arrival in Adana (13 August 1956). Enlisted person-
nel of Detachment B are being paid the maximum amount of $8.00 per day, but
this reflects the significant fact that enlisted personnel are furnished
meals, and for each meal twenty percent (20%) of their per diem is deducted.
Even considering the charge of $20.00 per month per trailer for propane being
assessed by USAFE, according tol recent cable, and figuring 25X1A
the $9.00 per month utility charge on eaca trailer, enlisted personnel still
come to the end of each day well in the black, as follows:
Enlisted Personnel
Daily rate .......................................... $8.00
Deduction for meals furnished 60% ... $4.80
Daily charge for quarters ........... .50
Daily charge for utilities .......... .10
Daily charge for propane .22
$ L . 6 2 5.62
Net Benefit ................................ $2.38
3. Officer and Government civilian personnel fare almost identically,
even assuming the greatest possible -daily charges to them, based on living
two people to a single trailer (some officers and civilians live three to
a trailer, and their costs are proportionately less). This breakdown is
as follows:
Officer and Government Civilians (two men to a trailer)
Daily rate (administrative reduction) ................ $6.00
Daily cost of meals $2.25
Daily charge for quarters .......... .75
Daily charge for utilities ......... .15
Daily charge for services .17
Daily charge for propane ........... .33
Net Deductions ............ .
