Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES



Proposals For Improving

The Management Of Federal Travel



Federal employees must travel to effectively
manage Government programs. While recog-
nizing this, the Congress has expressed concern
about the agencies' ineffective management of
travel and the resulting abuses.


Agency officials need to make sure that travel
by their employees effectively supports pro-
gram goals, but is conducted in the least costly
manner. This report discusses policies and pro-
cedures to budget, monitor, and authorize
travel; inequitable travel expense reimburse-
ment practices; and recent attempts to improve
travel management.

To further improve travel management GAO
recommends

     --improved reporting of past travel ex-
     penditures and improved budgeting for
     future travel,

     --tighter management control over travel
     authorization procedures,

     --holding managers accountable for fail-
     ing to follow travel policies, and

     --more equitable reimbursements for
     civilian and uniformed personnel
     traveling on Government business.
