Reimbursement of Meal and Coffee Expenses at Official Meetings Attended Solely by U. S. Government Employees REFERENCE . Memo from DCI to multiple adses., dtd 11 Jan 74; Subj: Entertainment iri the Executive Dining Room 1. A review of applicable legal and regulatory constraints makes it advisable to raise once again the question of the expenditure of govern- ment funds for the purpose of purchasing meals and coffee at meetings or luncheons attended solely by U. S. Government employees. 2. Prior to 11 January 1974, the policy governing the expenditure of government funds for the official entertainment of employees of the U. S. Government exclusively required approval by the Director or a single senior officer designated by him. Historically, policy state- ments governing official entertainment of U. S. Government employees have dealt primarily with the delegation of authority to approve such expenditures and until the 11 January policy statement, none addressed the issue of the fundamental legality of such expenditures in the first place. However, the 11 January policy statement (paragraph 2) contains an antithesis which creates problems for officers charged with certifying expenditures as being in accordance with the law. 3. The 11 January 1974 memorandum (reference) states that an exception to the policy forbidding the use of official funds for the purpose of "entertaining" government employees "may be made only in the most unusual and special circumstances" and that "such an exception shall require the advance approval of the Director." The problem with this policy--according to the General Counsel--is that the Director does not have the authority to approve such an expenditure unless the expenditure is "to support Agency activities of a confidential, extraordinary or emergency nature." "Confidential funds should not be used for the solution of administrative problems unless security or operational ADMINISTRATIVE -- INTERNAL USE ONLY Approved For Release 2001/08/27 : CIA-RDP79-00498A000100150080-6 ADMINISTRATIVE - INTERNAL USE ONLY Approved For Release 2001/08/27 : CIA-RDP79-00498A000100150080-6 -2- factors preclude the use of vouchered funds" A procedural requirement of prior approval is not really germane and cannot establish legitimacy. Exceptions in the absence of an operative intelligence requirement cannot be authorized even by the DCI. 4. Authority for such expenditures could be granted via the appropriation route and the Comptroller is including in the FY 1976 budget to the Congress, a statement which, if unchanged, will authorize expenditures of "funds for the Office of the Director support activities under his direct control and provide not more than $16 thousand for official reception and representation expenses including the expenses of cooperating U. S. Government officials and private U. S. citizens at meetings concerned with the official functions of the Central Intelligence Agency." (Att. C) This language will not legitimatize the expenditure of government funds for such routine things as the purchase of coffee for the Director's morning meetings or other meetings attended solely by Agency employees. 5. In view of the -Fact that the General Counsel is explicit in his opinion that such expenditures are illegal, I believe it is necessary to revise paragraph 2 of the 11 January 1974 memorandum deleting any reference to exceptions in cases involving meals or luncheons attended only by U. S. Government employees. 6. It is recommended that you issue the attached memorandum announcing a change in policy concerning exceptions and suggesting that officials who feel they can justify the use of government funds for meals and refreshments for official activities seek authorization through the budget process in future years.

For some time the basic policy of the Agency has been that expenses incurred in the official entertainment of officers or employees of the U. S. Government exclusively required approval by the Director or by a single senior official designated by him. Per reference (a) this authority was delegated to the Executive Director. Reference (b) stipulates that offi- cial entertainment in the Executive Dining Room must be hosted personally by a Deputy Director or Head of an Independent Office, or by his deputy when directed. Reference (c) disapproved a request to delegate to Division and Staff Chiefs the authority of a Deputy Director to submit vouchers for official entertainment. Reference (d) permitted Deputy Directors to delegate to a MCA-73 .. L.

Reference. (e) established the Executive Secretariat, appointed, the Executive Secre- tary, and delegated, to the Executive Secretary the Director's authority to approve the payment of these expenses. 2. During the past few months Agency policy concerning the official entertainment of officers and employees of the U. S. Government. has been under review. The Comptroller General's position is that official funds should not be used for the entertainment of Government officials unless specific authority for that purpose has been given by the Congress. There- fore, it has-been concluded that the Agency shall no longer use official funds to pay for the expenses incurred in the entertainment of officers or em- ployees of the U. S. Government fin the Executive Dining Room In addition to those persons included within the definition of "officers and employees" in Title 5 of the U. S. Code, this phrase includes staff employees, staff agents, detailed military and civilian personnel, contract employees, and career agents of this Agency. IAn exception to this policy may be made, only in the most unusual and special circumstances. Such an exception shall require the advance approval of the Director 3. The Director's Imprest Fund may be used to pay the full cost of a function, including the meals served Agency personnel, when the purpose is to entertain a foreign official or a non-U. S. Government personality. Deputy Directors may delegate their authority to submit vouchers for these functions to a single senior officer. Since the burden is a limited one, Heads of Independent Offices are expected to continue personally to retain this authority. The Executive Secretary has been designated as the single senior official who may authorize the payment or reimbursement of these expenses. 4. It shall no longer be necessary that official entertainment in the Executive Dining Room be hosted personally by either a Deputy Director or his Associate. Any other senior official designated by a Deputy Director or a Head of an Independent Office may act as host. 5. The General Counsel has been asked to amend the appropriate Headquarters Regulation to reflect the change of policy and delegations set forth above. The policy and delegations referenced in this memoran- dum are hereby rescinded.

GENERAL a. APPLICABILITY. This regulation applies to the financial administration of both vouchered and confidential funds, except where a subparagraph spe- cifically limits applicability to one type of funds. b. AUTHORITY. The Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, as amended, pro- vides in part as follows: (1) "Section 8(a). Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, sums made available to the Agency by appropriation or otherwise may be expended for, purposes necessary to carry out its functions...:' .(2) "Section 8(b). The sums made available. to the Agency may be expended without* regard to the provisions of law and regulations relating, to the expenditure of Government funds; and for objects of a confidential, ex- traordinary, or emergency nature, such expenditures to be accounted for solely on the certificate of the Director and every such certificate shall be deemed a sufficient voucher for the amount therein certified." e. POLICY. It Is Agency policy to limit the exercise of the special authorities provided in the CIA Act to those activities which in the national interest re- quire security protection. In line with this general policy the following prin..' ciples are set forth for guidance of Agency personnel involved in the obligation,, approval, and expenditure of Agency funds: (1) Vouchered funds (those which can be accounted for and audited in con- formance with the laws that apply to other Government agencies and with standard Government regulations and procedures) will be used if opera- tions and operational security do not require the use of confidential funds. (2) Confidential funds (those which are accounted for outside the Agency solely by certification of the Director) will be used to support Agency ac- tivities of a confidential, extraordinary, or emergency nature. Normal provisions of statutes for the obligation and expenditure of Government funds shall be followed by the Agency in its expenditure of confidential funds except when determined inappropriate In view of the security or the extraordinary or eerg.ency nature of our activities. Expenditures shall be accounted for in a manner compatible with the maintenance of rea- sonable security for Agency operations and the protection of the sources (3) Confidential funds will not be used for the solution of administrative problems u^'~ :Iles ooperations or security factors peculiar to the Agency re- quire the expenditures and preclude the use of vouchered funds. (4) Confidential funds shall not be used to give employees of the Agency a preferential position of prestige or financial benefit in comparison to other Government employees, and special operational expenditures shall not be allowed which would result in a direct or indirect personal gain or benefit to an Agency employee unless they are for an undertaking which is essen- tial to the conduct of an approved activity and are of such a nature-that the expense would not have been incurred by the employee except in,sup- port of the official activity involved. d. RESPONSIBILITIES (1) THE DIRECTOR. The Director of Central Intelligence is responsible for the proper expenditure of Agency funds.

Mr. Schroeder` s letter indicates his concern that "[since] the appropriation len u"--e for t ha Automated Data and Teleco xaLicatiaas Service, t: e benefiting organization in this case, does not specif- ically provide for the rental of space the language of 40 U.S.C. 34 prohibits payment of the room rental char,-,e with Coverxent funds. Our Office has held that the prohibition expressed in 40 t7. S.Cz 34 against the execution of a contract for the rental. of any husi.l.d:i.ng In the District of Colunbia for goverorental purposes until an appropria- tion has been made is comprehensive and. a on.lies to all uses- whether temporary or permanent. See 35 Cc--p. Gen. 314 (1955) and.. 43 Comp. Can, 305 (1969) as well as cases cited in those decisions. However, the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1.949, 63 Stat. 377, as amended, authorizes GSA to enter into leasing agreements for the benefit and accon odation of Federal. agencies. Specifically secc?- Lion 210(h) (1) of that Act (40 U. S.C. 490(h) (1)) provides as follows "The A miaistrator [of GSA) iii authorized to enter into lease agreements with any person, copart .ershia, corporation, or other public or private entity, :-;':licit do not bind the Government for periods in excess of twenty years for each such lease agreement, on such terms as he deans to be in the interest of the United States and necessary for the accosmodation of Federal. agencies in buildings and i^provements which are in existence or to be erected by the lessor for such purposes and to assign and reassign space- therein to Federal agencies." .we consider the language of this section together vrith its legislative history as authorizing the Administrator of GSA to lease buildings and parts of hui1 dt:? =^ in the District of Col urbia (6cc page` 1, : I7 tse r Pcport No. 1814, and pages 1, 2, and 3 of the Senate Report No., 111)6, 85th ! it is ou 'V1 ='- that i tt_ e k1 L?:'..,istra7.:oa: of C toasaqueatly.

Therefore, on the basis of the present record we us.t conclude that the prohibition contained in 40 U.S.C. 34 bars pa7nent of the $500 rocrz rental char ;e. In accarda ca with the fore :{nom. the first cues-14-on presented in the certifying officer's sub fission a-i to whether the invoice can prooerl-7 be certified for paynent in total amount or.

Although we do not question payment for the latter item, it has generally been held that in the absence of aut-.oririn? lc--islation the cost of refresh^';^ts furnished to C-overnnant employees : a- not be paid with approoriated fu. ds. See 47 Co . Gen. 0 5a and B-168774, Sentember 2, 1970, as s~re71. as ca..ses cited in those decisions. Under the circtstances as reported in the certifying officer's letter ue are not aware of any basis on which to authorize payment for the coffee-breed items prcv?ded to rerriaar narti;ipanta.. Consequently, we must conclude on the basis Of the present record thatJr- would be improper for the Corer rient to pay the 3168 coffee- break expenses. In accordance with the foregoiro, t:l,:e invoice may be properly certified for payment In the --mint of $120.66 representing a deduction. of $663 from the total invoice a=unt of $783.66. (Signed) R.
