SUBJECT Proposed Amendment to Agency Travel
Regulations to Prohibit Shipment of
Foreign Manufactured-Foreign Purchased
"Motor Vehicles

Committee envisioned, however, that Instances might
arise which would require the DD/M&S to consider
exception to the general prohibition under one or more
of these circumstances. Therefore, the Committee
respectfully suggests that you acquaint Congressional
liaison with these exceptions and request approval
for their application by the DD/M#S as circumstances
may warrant.
