C054U -1a 0V FILE: B-207453 DATE: December 22, 1982 MATTER OF: William L. Stanford and Mervilt L. Boyer, Jr. DIGEST: Where Foreign Service Travel Regulations require receipts for each allowable cash expenditure in excens of $15 unless it is not practicable to obtain them or unless the duties of the traveler were of a con- fidential naturer Agency for International Development properly disallowed actual sub.- sistence expense claims for individual meal costs in excess of $15 each in the absence of receipts theefor.
