WITH REFERENCE TO CHECK NO. 97,585, DRAWN ON VOUCHER NO. 13751, MARCH 1950 ACCOUNTS OF MAJOR H. J. MCAULEY, USAF, YOU ARE ADVISED THAT ON JULY 11, 1950, A NOTICE OF EXCEPTION (STANDARD FORM NO. 1100) WAS TAKEN ON VOUCHER NO. 13751 IN THE AMOUNT OF $52 (PER DIEM ALLOWANCE AT THE RATE OF $4 FOR 13 DAYS WHILE PURSUING COURSE OF INSTRUCTION), FOR THE REASON THAT PER DIEM MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO A NATIONAL GUARD OFFICER, ON ACTIVE DUTY IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE, AT HIS ONLY DESIGNATED POST OF DUTY. IN THAT CONNECTION, IT APPEARS FROM THE STATEMENT OF TRAVEL ATTACHED TO VOUCHER NO. 13751, THAT THE SAID VOUCHER WAS COMPUTED ON THE BASIS THAT PER DIEM WAS PAYABLE FOR 23 DAYS AS FOLLOWS: ONE DAY AT THE RATE OF $7 PER DAY, 9 DAYS AT $5 PER DAY AND 13 DAYS AT $4 PER DAY.

THUS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE DAY WHEN GOVERNMENT QUARTERS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, THE DECEDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED ONLY TO PER DIEM AT THE RATE OF $7 FOR ONE DAY, AND $5 FOR 8 DAYS, OR A SUM OF $47.
ACCORDINGLY, CHECK NO. 97, 585 IS BEING CANCELED AND, THEREFORE, UPON THE PREPARATION OF A SUPPLEMENTAL VOUCHER FOR PER DIEM (STANDARD FORM NO. 1012), YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE PAYMENT THEREON IN THE AMOUNT OF $47.
