Marine Corps members who traveled by Government van on temporary duty may be paid per diem for entire period of travel, where the circumstances of the travel do not show that it was performed in an unreasonable or imprudent manner, They departed permanent duty station at 5;30 a,m., traveled 370 miles, and stopped travel at 3 p.m. Their departure at 530 a.m, was not unreasonable me-ely because it placed them on travel stal;us during morning mealtime. In addition, they did not act unreasonably in traveling 600 miles in 2 days rather than 1 day on their return trztvel. Proposal that they should have performed the travel in 1 day, involving about 11 hours' driving time, would have imposed an unreasonable travel requirement. 2. The Comptroller General has no legal, objection to an amendment of the Joint Travel Regulations, if considered desirable by the service Secretaries, which would generally allow I day of traveltime for per diem purposes for each 300 miles of temporary duty travel performed by Government automobile, since that amendment would not be inconsistent with the governing provisions of statutory law authorizing travel allowances for service members on temporary duty assignments, 37 U.S.C. 404, nor with the requirement that Federal personnel perform official travel in an expeditious manner. The disbursing officer, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia, has requested an advance decision on the question of whether three Marine Corps members who traveled by Government van on temporary duty may be patd per diem based on their actual period of travel. This request was assigned Control Number 81-11 by the Per Diem, I HE COMPTROLLER WENIERAL OF THE UNITED STATVEB WASHINGTON, !0o. Q01548 DATE-;, February 23, 1982 Sergeant 19. F. Moss, USMC, et al,
