Commission on Federal Paperwork--Compensation and Travel of Borrowed Professional Staff

The memoranda "Compensation for Borrowed Professional Staff," and "Compensation and Travel Reimbursement for Professional Staff Obtained from Other Sources" both deal with the use of services of persons who are not employees of the Commission on Federal Paperwork. The memoranda raise six distinct problems. The first problem is whether there is any limitation on the length of time which an agency may detail an employee to the Commission. The second problem proposes reimbursement by the Commission to the employee's agency of the detailed employee's basic pay, not including "retirement, hospitalization, etc." The third problem deals with relocation expenses for Federal employees detailed to the Commission. The fourth question involves procurement of staff from state and local agencies. The fifth question is whether the Commission should accept free services from the private sector and from state and local governments. The final matter is whether conflict-of-internet provisions apply to personnel employed by the Commission as experts and consultants or as persons serving without compensation.
