The Honorable John E. Moss                          LM107451
Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and
 Investigations
Comittee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     In accordance with your request of November 9, 1977, we
reviewed the Consumer Product Safety Commissioners' official
travel for the period October 15, 1976, to October 15, 1977. l/
As agreed with your office, we did not review each Commis-
sioner's personal leave or vacation time. We did, however,
ask each Commissioner to provide us with this information
which we previously furnished to your office.

     During the 12-month period ended October 15, 1977, the
five Commissioners made 64 trips which cost the Federal
Government $18,708. Government Transportation Requests for
air travel and direct billing to the Government for auto-
mobile rental totaled $14,021, and the Commissioners were
reimbursed $4,687 for official expenses such as per diem
and, in a few cases, other transportation. (A detailed
accounting of these trips is included in encs. I to V.)

     You also requested that we determine whether
     --advance public notice was required for public meetings
       the Commissioners' attended while on travel, and if so,
       was such notice published;

     --the- reimbursed trips were used for other than offi-
       cial ousiness; and

     --costs applicable to trips that were extended or re-
       routed for personal reasons were paid for by the
       Commissioners.

I/Three of the five Commissioners--Messrs. Byington, Garrett,
  and Kushner--during this period are no longer at the
  Commission.
                                                   HRD-78-171
