MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Administrative Staff/DDS&T
FROM: Jerry Ferentinos
Chief, Support Staff, OSO/DDS&T
SUBJECT: Restricted Use of Privately Owned Vehicles
1. On 12 October 1979, we received a request from
your office to comment on s;?ecific areas of a proposed
policy of restricted use of POV's on off'rial 25X1
~ business.
The foll
i
ow
ng is keyed to that request:
a. At what level should approval be required?: 25X1
It is our feeling that existing approval authorities
are adequate (i.e., group and staff chief level).
b. Should we reimburse for mileage over routes
with shuttle service?: In the case of OSO
emees,
we feel that reimbursement should continue e
venothough
the route may be serviced by shuttle service. OSO
offices are located in HeadnnartPrc
Events often occur which
require officers from each of these locations to
travel to one of the other sites on immediate notice. 25X1
To wait for the infrequent shuttle service could
cause delays in maintaining operations abroad.
c. Should the use of u-drive-it official vehicles
be encouraged?: OSO currently does encourage the use
of official vehicles. However, only a limited number
of vehicles are available at each of our locations.
In order to insure that enough vehicles are available,
the authorized TVA would have to be increased considerably.
It is our feeling that acquisition costs of additional
official vehicles would not offset the amount paid in 25X1
reimbursement for use of POV's nor would an energy
saving be realized.

SUBJECT: Restricted Use of Privately Owned Vehicles
d. To what extent should we resort to regulatory
issuance to enforce policy?: It would appear that
,a policy paper would carry the same weight as a
regulation change. For this subject, a change of
regulation should not be necessary.
