C8 ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
MemoraJum
: Deputy Executive
: Budget Officer
DATE: 2 September 1949
SUBJECT: Approval of Representation Allowance Expenditures
1. In connection with the request submitted by the Chief,
Confidential Funds in his memorandum of 24 August 1949, for the
approval of the Director, retroactively to 1 February 1949, with
respect to certain expenditures for representation allowances,
it is desired to refer to the terminology set forth in Paragraph
6.3 of the Confidential Funds regulations. It will be noted that
the regulations state that "the Assistant Directors of Covert offices
are authorized to approve representation allowances for such an
individual while at a particular post".
2. It would appear that, under the terms of the regulations
as issued, it may be within the province of the Assistant Director
to give "post" approval to expenditures made by individuals who
had not been previously specifically authorized by either the
Director or the Assistant Director concerned. However, in order
to remove any doubt as to the propriety of the payments made, and
in order that the records may be clear and unambiguous for inspectional
and audit purposes, it is recommended that the request of the Chief,
Confidential Funds Branch be approved. It is suggested that the
approval include a period extending to the effective date of the
revision of Paragraph 6.3 of the Confidential Funds regulations.
