   Indirect Travel

1. Fly America Act applies not only to trans-
    portation secured with appropriated funds
    but also to transportation secured with
    funds owned, controlled, granted, or
    conditionally granted or utilized by or
    otherwise established for the account of
    the United States. Where international
    air travel is secured with trust funds
    under control of United States, Fly America
    Act Guidelines apply.


          2. Employee on authorized official travel
              from Islamabad to London and return,
              undertook indirect travel by foreign
              air carrier to Madrid, Geneva, and other
              cities as matter of personal convenience.
              In accordance with penalty formula set
              forth at 56 Comp. Gen. 209 (1977), employee

              his personal travel diverted revenues from
              United States air carriers to foreign car-
              riers, notwithstanding that miles traveled
              on United States air carriers were not
              reduced.
