Maloney - Tempoiary Duty Travel - Special File: Conveyance - Rental Car Date: B-229466 December 5, 1988 DIGEST A military member was issued temporary duty travel orders authorizing a rental car at a 9-day workshop where the member's lodging and meals were available. The evidence now before the Comptroller General does not show that the authorization was clearly erroneous, and based on that evidence the travel orders should not be retroactively changed to deny reimbursement of the member's car rental expense.

The subjective deter- mination as to whether meals for 9 days at the workshop location were not suitable so as to justify a rental car was a discretionary management decision upon issuance of the travel orders. DECISION This decision authorizes car rental expenses incurred on temporary duty by Lieutenant Colonel Peter R. Maloney, United States Army, assigned to the Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.l/ Colonel Maloney traveled on temporary duty to attend a workshop at the Holiday Inn in Huntsville, Alabama, between January 27 and February 4, 1987. The military organization sponsoring the workshop recommended in a written announce- ment that persons attending obtain a rental car because of the distances between the Holiday Inn, the airport, and 1/ Bernard F. McCullough, Finance and Accounting Officer, United States Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Picatinny Arsenal, requested our decision. ~q,-L-o6 iTu-qs
