SUBJECT Extended TDY
1. At the 17 August 1970 meeting of the TEC, the Committee de-
cided to obtain the views of the Directorates, represented by the
members, before deciding on any policy changes concerning reduced per
diem for extended periods of temporary duty of 60 days or more. Speci-
fically, there was some feeling among the Committee meMbers that the
basic problem in extended TDY is the need for better monitoring of pro-
longed periods by administrative officers rather than attempting to
control extended TDY through reductions in the amount allowable to em-
ployees who are directed to perform such official duties.
2. I checked with the SSA-DDS for his general reaction and ex-
perience in administering cases of extended TDY. Be had received
relatively few cases during the last year requesting exceptions to the
elimination of per diem after 180 days TDY, and these had been well
documented. He also indicated that in many canes full per diem is not
needed after a period of 60 days service and the full amount should be
scaled down to a more appropriate level, except in individual Situa-
tions when the evidence supports an exception. Thus, from his own
experience he felt that the present policy was appropriate, but recom-
mended I also check with the Office of Security and the Office of
Communications--the principle offices having occasion to require exten-
ded TDY within the Support Services.
3. The DC/CC administration responded in a similar way to the
views expressed by the SSA-DDS. The Office of Ccemunications normally
does not send employees in excess of 30 to 60 day' TDY. It is Coss
view that in met tmetances employees should be able to find semi-
permanent quarters and receive a reduced per diem when a longer period
of temporary duty is required. In cases when extended duties of 60
days or more is expected, the Office of Communicatronn advises the
employee concerned to seek a monthly rate, which iu sometimes possible
and sometimes not. OC is lenient when exceptions are necessary; as a
consequence, the present policy presents no real problem and employees
are not being hurt by it.

4. I also contacted the Chief of Support of the Office of
Secur-
ity. He informed me they only have a few cases in which the emp
of that Office need to go out on extended duty; and, if nedeseary, an
exception can be gained to the regulatory requirements.
