NOTE OF EXPLANATION
Section 706 of PL 95-426 granted authority to the Department
of State, ICA, AID and the ACDA to pay for transportation between
places outside the U.S., notwithstanding the limitations of the
"Fly America" Act, to relieve hardships created for personnel
required to perform official travel overseas. We believe similar
relief is needed for Agency personnel and propose to adopt rules
compatible with the travel delay provisions contained in
6 FAM 134 that implement this Foreign Service authority. The
Agency has planned for the adoption of these changes through the
appropriate budgetary process.
The proposed revision to Agency travel regulations are
attached for your review.
