Subject: Rental of Rooms for Official Needs of Personnel
Procurement officials while on Field Assignments.
Reference is made to memorandum this subject to ADSO from Special
Funds dated 19 May 1947. The alternatives available to Special Funds
with regard to recent travel performed by Personnel Procurement offi-
cials are the following:
a) Disallow the cost of hotel rooms used both as office space
and sleeping quarters and allow the employee the normal $6.00
per diem.
b) Allow the full cost of hotel rooms as office space rental
deducting 1/5 of the normal per diem for use of said space as
sleeping quarters in accordance with Paragraph 47A and 76 of
Standard Government Travel Regulations.
The subject was discussed this date with ADSO who rendered the
decision that alternative a) above would be followed. Accordingly,
all travel accounts will be processed on a straight travel per diem
basis.
25X1
we 0 was called into the conference by ADSO and the policy
was set forth that in the future where it is necessary to use hotel
rooms as office space, the rental of such rooms would be formally
authorized concurrently with the authorization to travel, and that
such office space would be distinct and separate from sleeping
quarters. It was aclciowledgedthat this would cost the Government
additional expense but in view of the danger of possible mis-
interpretation of dual use of hotel rooms as a subterfuge to
augment Standard Government Travel per diem, this procedure is
deemed the most satisfactory.
