KLhammer -Temporary Duty Travel Expens9- Overseas Duty Post DIGEST: Civilian employee of AID performed temporary duty travel in Kinshasa, Zaire, from January 24 to February 10, 1979, and was authorized reimburse- ment of actual subsistence expenses. Effective February 1, 1979, based upon information from American Embassy of currency devaluation in Zaire, Secretary of State reduced actual expense rate from $106 to $75 in Kinshasa. However, upon delayed receipt in February 1979 of informa- tion that prices had increased simul- taneously with devaluation, Secretary increased rate in Kinshasa to $111, effective March 1, 1979. Rate decrease in February was caused by administra- tive error on part of Embassy in fail- ing to furnish State Department with timely information of concomitant price increases. Accordingly, prior rate is deemed to continue in effect through period of travel and employee is entitled to reimbursement of addi- tional subsistence expenses. Mr. Frederick A. Kalhammer,_an employee of the Agency for International Development3(AID), Department of State,[has appealed the Settlement Certificate (Z-2814747) dated March 4, 1980, issued by our Claims Group, which denied Mr. Kalhammerps claim for additional actual expense reimbursement incident to his temporary duty in Zaire\from January 24 to February 10, 1979. Mr. Kalhammer's claim arises from the action of the State Department in reducing the reimbursement rate in Zaire3, effective February 1, 1979. LHe does not challenge THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITE0 STATES WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548
