OF: 'Joseph F. Giordano - Use of foreign
     flag air carrier during travel

 (1) In appropriate instances where
 questions of payments to be made by a
 Governmental department are presented
 to the Comptroller General for decision
 by a departmental official who is not
 the department head, the questions will
 be decided and transmitted to the depart-
 ment head as if he had submitted them
 under 31 U.S.C. 74 (1970).


             (2)  Department of Health, Education,
             and Welfare employee may use foreign
             flag air carriers during travel while
             performing temporary duty because the
             use of one such carrier saved more than
             12 hours from the origin airport to the
             destination airport than the use of an
             American flag air carrier, and the use
             of the other such carrier is essential
             to accomplish the Department's mission,
             which would render American flag air
             carriers unavailable under § 5 of the
             International Air Transportation Fair
             Competitive Practices Act of 1974,
             Pub. L. 93-623, 88 Stat. 2104 (49 U.S.C.
             1517).

     The Director of the Center For Disease Control, Public
Health Service, Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare has requested an advance decision as to whether the
cost of a foreign flag air carrier used for travel incident
to performing temporary duty shown in the submitted
itinerary of Joseph F. Giordano can be paid.  Since re-
quests for decisions in matters such as this should be
applied for by the head of a department or establishment
of the Government, the submission will be treated as a
request for an advance decision by the Secretary of the
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and answered
accordingly.  41 Comp. Gen. 767 (1962).
