U.S.S. RAMSEY  (DEG-2)                             VuAV A LABE

Dear Sir:

     We reviewed selected  financial transactions in
the accounts of the U.S.S. RAMSEY  for the 6 months
ended June 30, 1972, and found numerous  errors on pay
records and vouchers.  These errors,  summarized in the
appendix, resulted in over and underpayments  to crew
members and inaccurate leave balances.

     The most significant problem  area involves military
travel.  Some common errors  identified in our sample
were:

     -- use of wrong per diem rates,

     -- incorrect deductions for meals  and quarters,

     -- failure to pay per diem while  en route between
        stations,
        per diem allowed while in  a mileage status,
        and

     -- incorrect distances used  in computing mileage
        allowances.

     In addition, we found many  small over and underpay-
ments caused by misapplication of  group travel regula-
tions.  Contrary to regulations, per  diem was paid in
some cases for days en route under group  travel orders
and was not paid for travel under  individual orders.
Also contrary to regulations,  some group travel orders
authorized a monetary allowance  in lieu of transportation.
See vouchers 893, 933, 1003, and  1011 for examples.  In-
structions on group travel are  in the Joint Travel Regu-
lations, paragraphs M4100 through M4105.
