Dear Mr. Pinel:
In your letter of July 26, 1978, you advise that the Department
of the Army has denied your request to open a travel agency office
on the military reservation at Fort Lewis, Washington. You express
the view that the prohibition against locating travel agencies on
military reservations may be premised on the regulations issued by
our Office. You ask whether the denial of access to Fort Lewis
by your travel agency is not discriminatory since other travel
ag&ncies are allowed at Travis, McGuire and El Toro-, apparently
a reference to Travis Air Force Base, California, McGuire Air Force
Base, New Jersey, nd the Marine Corps Base at El Toro, California.
The Department of the Army is vested with sole responsibility
for the regulation of all activities at Fort Lewis, Washington,
and the regulations of our Office neither permit nor prohibit the
placement of travel agencies on military reservations.
We are not aware of the location of any travel agencies on
the bases at 'McGuire or El Toro. And it is our understanding that
the traVel agency at Travis Air Force Base has grandfather rights
which predate the military prohibitions against the location of
travel agencies on military bases.
Under air].ines' a-reements with the Government, traffic offices
tions. Those ticket offices are stocked with supplies and staffed
