INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING TRAVEL EXPENSE AND VOUCH[ERIS Transportation Requests Attention of all employees who perform official travel is invited to p-aragraph 20 of the Standardizedl Gov~rnmelnt Travec l Regulations, which provides that "L transportation requests mlust not be used for personal travel.'" This requir~ement must be rigidly observed and in carrying it out it is im- portant that empyloYees dlismiss the idea, which has probably been responsible for somle misuse, thrat roundabo~ut travel for personal reasons betwPeen points in an official itinerary is not to be deemed personal travel. It is based not only on the fundamental imlpropricet? of using the Government requests for personal travel but on the fact that sueb throws upon both the bureau and the General Accounting Offic~e the burden of auditing, settling, and paying additional transportation accounts. A single illustration of an instance~, in the use of requests as indicated above, w~ich has been permitted heretofore but can; not nowm be allowed, is as follows : An employee is directed to perform official travel from Washington, D. C., to Chiengo, Ill., but is granted permission to go via Indianapolis for the pur- pose of taking annual leave. Heretofore, he has been allowed to use a request to Indinnapolls and another from Indiannpolis to Chicago, and the excess over the direct far1e from Wanshingaton to Chliengl~o has been deducted fromn his expense account. Under present reqluiremlents he will be obliged to pay cash fare for the entire trip. Numerous illustrations could be given, but this conlcrete example will suffice. Inspectors and others in charge will be hleldl strictly to account for dereliction on the part of employees with respect to these instructions. Reclaimed Expense Items To facilitate the prompt paymenust of travel vouchers, it is urgently important that nil suspended items, credit errors in addition, and items omitted from a previous ncou~nt, he reclaimed the second month following the suspension. That is, items suspended from October account should be? reclaimed in De- cember account; suspended from November should be reelaimed in January, etc. Mailing of Checks It is intended that all expense checks be sent through the inspector in charge of stations. In order to accomplish this fully, no address other than that of 94 BUREAU OF ANIN[AL INDUSTRY [October, the inspector in charge or official headquarters should appear on the voucher, as, John Doe, care Dr. H-. Busman, 999 Exchange Avenue, Chicago, Ill." The employee's station (not address) should appear in the space Official bead- quarters." The situation in this respect would be ideal if each employee ren- dering an account would indicate only his name on the line "LPayee" and allow the "Address to be filled in by rubber stamp or otherwise by the inspector in ebarge or other person at the central or main headquarters. Miscellaneolu On account of lack of space due to crowded printing at the top of the new Standard Form 1012, it is very important that the space for the "Appropria- tion be left blank. This matter has been referred to previously but is ignored by many employees. Please read very carefully paragraph 44 of the Government Travel Regula- tions. All these items should be entered in the Subsistence column. All other expenses, including the various porter fees, should be entered in the Other column. It should be noted that bell boy and hotel porter fees are not identical. The latter fee is entered in the Other column. 16any items are claimed in reimbursement accounts which have heretofore been passed but should properly be claimed direct on Standard Form 1034, unless cash payment is dlemanded. This condition applies more particularly at official headquarters rather than when an employee is in a travel status, but nevertheless should be extended to include all expense that is practicable to be billed on 1034 voucher. All such items could not be enumerated, but include post-office box and all other rent, telegrarph, telephone, laundering of towels, purchase of gas and oil, repairs on Government car, and all items men- tionedl in paragraoph 90 of the Government Travel Regulations. (See also paragraphs 02, 93, and 94, G. T. R.) W~ith reference to express shipments, particular attention is called to the nee?- essity of making all shipments on a Government bill of Inding, if possible, or in lieu thereof, charges should be billed direct on Standanrd Form 1034. All1 cases in which it is absolutely necessary to~ pay ensh must be explained. When shipments are made from a central headquarters to various points throughout the territory, as in the case of nuto tires, tuberculin, dip, etc., such shipments must not be sent Collect." but should be handled as indiented above. Employee~s away from their official station in a travel status at the close of the month should claimi all subsistence for the month. That is, supper or/and lodging must not be left out of the account and claimed in the following a ccounI~t. Emlployrees en route to their ofncial stations at midnight on the last day of the mouth, expecting to arrive there on the first of the next month, or later, should included in one voucher all their expense up to time of arrival. Particular attention is invited to thlj fact that the information called for in item 1 at the top of the first page on the inside of Standard Form 10)12 must be shown only w~hen an employee is aw\ay from his officiall station at the close of the preceding~ month. See paragranph No. 3, Appendix VI, Standardized Government Travel Regula- tions. Insapectors and others in charge will be held ac~countable and muust see that this information is given before fo~rwarding the account to the WTashington office. Employees are cautioned, when executing transportation requests, to fill in the correct authorization numbers in the space indicated .at the lower left corner. Care shouldl also be taken to enter all requests. used in the space provided there- for, oni the back of Standar'd Form 1012. Duplicate copies should be mailed promptlY to, the Washing~ton offic~e. The attention of everyr traveler is called to notice on page 32 of Service and Regulatory Announcements for 111arch, 1929,14elative to the use of taxicabs. Failure to furnish the necessary information often necessitates the suspension of these items. Attention is directed to notice on page 5 of the Official Reco~rd for October 24, 1929, under the heading New Travel Expense Voucher Forms." This notice is important not only to employees who incur expense but to inspectors in charge w~ho approve voulchers. WThile the inspector in charge signs in the space Im- mediate supervising official only, and therefore does not certify to the facts as set forth immediately beneath his signature, nevertheless sufficient care should be exercised so that the acting chief of bureau m~ay be reasonable sure of the facts as covered in the affidavit and in his own certificate. 19209 SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS Bu ~u Mleet- narians iga- engsged dressed work 1 Autop- sies to med 1 33 2 4 3 7 52 20 12 6 1 4 9 9 7 7 7 11 13 2 1 8 4 9 3 7 Demonstra- tions Out- breaks report- ed to narians 1 20 3 9 6 88 13 69 5 5 43 57 1 6 9 18 92 4 6 1 6 10 4 2 7 Farmns quartn- tined ea ded 3 22 7 10 116 4 1 Falrms cleaned atnd di s n ........ 25 1 1 Prem- ises in- 74 58 23 64 115 85 186 93 41 221 42 20 165 141 1143 30 30 151 53 57 22 6 55 42 196 77 11 2,201 State Num Hogs ber treated A~rkansas...~.................
