MATTER   OF:


               , et al. - Meals at Headquarters
Incident to Attendance at Meeting


  DIGEST:   GAO  headquarters employees attending annual
            meeting of President's Committee on Employment
            of the Handicapped in Washington, D. C., seek
            payment for luncheon and two banquets. Agency
            may pay for meals, provided it determines that
            meals were incidental to the meeting; that atten-
            dance at meals was necessary for full participa-
            tion; and that employees were not free to take
            meals elsewhere without missing essential formal
            discussions, lectures or speeches concerning the
            purpose of the meeting. B-182586, December 17,
            1974, will no longer be followed as to meals at
            headquarters.

to whether the General Accounting Office may legally pay the
costs of meals to be incurred by three GAO headquarters em-
ployees while attending a meeting in Washington, D. C.

    Mr. Yuille states that Mr.             . President.
Handicapped Advisory Coimmittee, Ms.
