Fourteen civilian employees of the Navy Public Works Center, Norfolk, Virginia, received per diem while on extended temporary duty in Thurso, Scotland, during various dates be- tween July 18 and December 15, 1977, at a rate of $49 per day. Change in Standardized Regulations (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas) issued by Department of State, reduced per diem to $34 per day for various locations in Scotland, effective August 1, 1977. No legal basis exists for allowance of higher rate of per diem for tempo- rary duty performed after effective date of lower rate. 2. The claims of 14 civilian employees of the Navy Public Works Center, Norfolk, Virginia, for reimbursement of expenses incurred while on extended temporary duty to Thurso, Scotland, caused by reduction in rate of per diem, are not unusual in nature and are likely to constitute a recurring problem. Such claims do not present such elements of legal liability or equity so as to justify reporting the claims to the Congress under the Meritorious Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 236. This decision is rendered with respect to 14 civilian employees of the Navy Public Works Center (NPWC), Department of the Navy, Norfolk, Virginia, who, while performing temporary duty assignments in Thurso, Scotland, for periods ranging from 30 to 135 days commencing at various dates during the period July 18 to December 15, 1977, were paid per diem 0A( /2 e Icj q /4736ZtJ O'/ 3733
