Highlights

The Agency for International Development (AID) requested a decision as to the rest and recuperation travel entitlements of a foreign service officer during a period of annual leave. GAO found that, although the officer was authorized rest and recuperation travel to the continental United States, he stayed there only 1 day of his 39-day trip. Accordingly, since he did not spend his leave in the contemplated location, he was only entitled to the constructive cost of travel to the designated relief area. GAO stated that regulations should be revised to clearly state that reimbursement for travel outside the United States cannot be made unless the employee remains in the United States for a sufficient period to accomplish the purpose of rest and recuperation.
