  Dear Mr. Schullery:

      Reference is made to your letter of May 28, 1971, asking our decision          ..
  as to .whether you properly may certify for payment from appropriated funds
  .a voucher stated in favor of John L. Prudhmme. The voucher in in the
  amount of $28.09, and covers the cost of a set of stainless steel cooking
  utensils.
                                                                                                 .,

      It is exzplained that many air traffic control facilities operate on
  a 24-hour schedule at remote locations without comercial restaurants
  or snack bars readily accessible, It is necessary at most of the facili-
  ties for the employees to eat their lunches and have coffee breaks at or
  near their operating places of duty. Also, it is reported that the con-
  trollers are required to be continuously a-ailable for duty during a full
  8-hour tour which may cover any period of the day or night, seven days a
  week.

      You state that the cookware in queation was purchased for use at the
  Flight Service Station at Memphis, Tennessee, so that the employees could
e PrePare their food. As described above, this facility also has no cafe-
  teria or snack bar from which employees can purebase food and the Flight
  Service Station is manned 24 hours per day, seven days a week, and the
  employees mist remain at their post of duty for the full 8-hour tour of             ,1
  duty.                                                                             .               i

       The appropriation proposed to be charged with the amountof the
  Purchase is that for Operations, Federal Aviation Administration hich,
  while not specifically available for cooking utensils, is available for
  necessary expenses not otherwise provided for. Obviously the numerous
  objects of expenditure neces07   to accomplish the general purposes for
