1. (Unclassified - PLC) Prompted by a call from
Administrative Officer, Office of Security, I called the Office of
Congressional Affairs for GSA to determine the status of proposed
legislation to raise the mileage allowance for the use of privately owned
vehicles on official business. Jamie Kabler informed me that GSA
within the next month will submit a proposal to OMB to raise the mileage
allowance from the present ceiling of 12~ to 13-1/2~ per mile. This figure
was arrived at as a result of a nationwide study by GSA. I expressed my
personal opinion that the figure seemed low in view of the recent increases
in the price of gasoline. Kabler did not know the full facts of the study, but
noted that GSA and certain other agencies now allow only 1l' per mile.
During our discussion, Kabler alerted me to a proposal that
GSA will submit to OMB next week to allow a maximum per diem to be
paid for official travel to certain cities which have high living costs.
Included were New York and San Francisco.
