2. No items of interest from DD/P Staff Meeting.
3. Items of interest from DD/S Staff Meeting - 14 November
a. Additional Information on Support Directorate Spouse Day, 9 December 72.
As you know, the Directorate is scheduled for two sessions on Spouse Day, 9 Dec.
Some questions have been raised on dependents - especially the youngsters.
Mr. Coffey reiterated the family visit guidelines pertaining to guests:
Guests: Eligible guests are limited to employees, including contract
employees and detailees from other agencies and the military services,
currently assigned in the metropolitan area, and witting members of
their families as follows: spouse, mature and responsible children,
mother, father, and other close relatives living with the employee. A
Deputy Director or higher authority may further restrict the above list
of eligible guests as considered necessary for specific directorate visits.
Last year we suggested - on children - that we were talking about high school age
children. This may be too restrictive. What should be stressed is "mature and
responsible children." This probably excludes third and fourth grades. The
youngsters who come should be ones who will get some benefit from the visit and
yet who will understand the sensitivity associated with the Agency.
b. Retirement of Su port Directorate Personnel During November 72.

g. Golf Clubs - Accompanied Baggage. We've just reviewed a dispute involving
an officer who brought a set of golf clubs as accompanied baggage from his overseas
post to his home leave point. Central Travel Branch felt the clubs were not "baggage.'
The IG saw no difference between golf clubs and such as playing cards, crossword
puzzles, tennis rackets, etc. Nor did we, so long as the clubs were within the
authorized weight allowance.

spoke wit the Office of the Inspector General after
your zsallowance of
the cost of shipping a set of golf clubs and a golf bag as accompanied bag-
gage. The OIG referred the matter to me for review.
2. I ve spoken withi Office of the General
25X1 Counsel, who responded to
I request for a legal ruling on
;Whether a golf bag and clubs coigne within the definition of "baggage. "
25X1 (Ot:xC: 72.1526 As
pointed out, the question is not one of law,
rather one of fact anc a matter for administrative determination. He
affix ,ris there is no legal objection to paying for this expense. I am aware
that the Department of State routinely authorizes the cost of, shipping golf
Clubs as acco:ti1panied baggage but without necessarily regarding that as a
pre>cedent. it is my feeling that the Agency should allow this sort of expense
,when the shipment was within the authorized weight allowance, which in this
it was. I have discussed this matter with the Assistant Deputy Director
Support who concurs with niy view.
>. It is requested that you process reimbursement to
out of $46. 050
