How are te tra- vel requests handled? First, the employee must receive approval of his department head, then the request must clear through the Finarce Department for budget checks, and finally it must be approved by the Board of Examiners. Records show that some have not received this approval until they have returned from their trip Iy Board policy, per diem rates range from $22.50 to $25 for more expensive areas like Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York and Florida. Many authorizations are also granted limiting costs only to necessary and actual. The following suggestions may assist in arriving at a sound program for reducing travel without curtailing necessary services. 1. Limit travel largely to policy making officials. 2. Avoid duplication. Send just one person and have him report back to others interested in the program. One official might perform a variety of duties under instruction from several departments. 3. Tighten up, or eliminate the necessary and actual travel requests. These can be an d invitation to overte te open-ende- spend. 4. Be cautious of the lure of free money.
