The Hlonorable L ,es Aspin
'T House of Repiresentatives
Dear Mr. Aspin:
Fol] owing your request of June 26, 1974, we agreed to provide
you with info-mnation on expcnditures for air travel by AMTRtAK
personnel in 1.973 and part of 1974 and to classify such travel as
being
--between cities on the AMTIRAK system, other than the
Northea.,., orridor;
--al.ong the Northeast corridor bctween Washington, D.C.,
and ,oston, Massachusetts; or
--to or from cities not on the AMTRAK system.
As agreed w it1) your office, the inforimtion developed includes the
cost of airtine tickets for which A I\IA [K was billed by the airlines
but not the co.t,, of Lickets purLIIClased by empIoyees for which AMT1-AK
reimbuised tliem directly. According to an AUITRAK official, ticket
purchases billed through the airlines account for approximately 95
percent of AIITRAII-'s total air travel cost.
Tickets fnr some of the travel I isted stopovers at intermediate
poinits. 'Ple l' liowiti s(lhedule inel ie1es the full cost of such travel.
A.1IRA.1 ,UIIIM,'IyV r' .oil'h)o j which we worked did not contain

intrilriedi ate points ncc inred or whether the intcirmediate points

of det ailcd (taa Wupp)orting, 'our bill in rigs--which represented about
16 percent of the total ,ir tt'avel costs --showed that almost alt the
