DECISION The Comptroller, South Central Regional Office, Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) has requested an advance decision on the propriety of using appropriated funds to pay a share of the total costs incurred by the Dallas/Fort Worth Federal Executive Board (Board) to recognize local federal employees for their service to the Board. We conclude that the Bureau's appropriations are not available for this purpose. The Bureau, however, may use its appropriations to pay the costs of awards to its own employees for exemplary service to the Board. BACKGROUND Federal Executive Boards are interagency coordinating groups created to strengthen federal management practices, improve intergovernmental relations, and participate as a unified federal fo ce in local civic affairs. See generally 65 Comp. Gen. 689 X 1986). The Boards were established by President Kennedy in 1961; they have no legislative charter and receive no appropriations. They rely on the voluntary participation of their members. The Dallas/Fort Worth Board annually recognizes local federal employees for their service in the accomplishment of Board projects. In order to pay for the plaques, certificates and other costs of the awards program, the Board assesses each member agency a pro-rata share of the total cost. (In 1990 the Board assessed each agency $100.)
