handle is hein.gao/gaobadmvn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General ) of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof Dr. Francis G. Stehli -- Travel Expenses File: B-225352 Date: September 21, 1987 DIGEST A member of the Energy Research Advisory Board was issued a round-trip airline ticket for travel to attend a 3-day Board meeting in Seattle which was due to end on a Friday afternoon. His return flight to his home in Oklahoma City was scheduled for Saturday. When the meeting ended several hours earlier than anticipated on Friday, he decided to return to Oklahoma City that afternoon on a different airline at an additional cost of $223. Because he unilaterally altered the approved travel schedule, his reimbursement for the additional expense incurred is limited by the constructive cost of the approved travel. His claim for $223 may be paid only in the amount he would originally have been allowed that Friday and Saturday if he had not departed from Seattle earlier than scheduled. DECISION An authorized certifying officer of the Department of Energy requests a decision on the question of whether Dr. Francis G. Stehli, a member of the Energy Research Advisory Board, may be reimbursed $223 he paid in cash for airfare related to his attendance at a Board meeting. In the described circumstances, he may be reimbursed on a limited, constructive-cost basis. FACTS Dr. Stehli was Dean of the College of Geosciences at the University of Oklahoma and a member of the Energy Research Advisory Board when the Department of Energy asked him to travel from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Seattle, Washington, to attend a quarterly meeting of the Board on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, August 14, 15, and 16, 1985. He received no compensation for his services, but was authorized reimbursement of his travel expenses. G~OOaA -
