File: B-243393.2 Date: April 10, 1992 DIGEST Navy employees claim mileage at their temporary duty station in order to obtain meals. The employees' claims are denied since the record supports the agency's determination that the claims are not allowable as a necessary expense of travel since adequate restaurant facilities were available in the immediate vicinity of the temporary duty station. Although the employees' travel orders authorized such mile- age, this authorization was of no effect because it is contrary to a specific provision in the governing Federal Travel Regulation.

Witcher III, may be reimbursed mileage expenses incurred in order to obtain meals while at their temporary duty sta- tion.1 The named employees, whose official duty station is Cherry Point, North Carolina, were assigned temporary duty at New River, North Carolina, for the period December 4-10, 1990.

The Commanding General (Disbursing Officer), of the employees' installation, Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, after reviewing the facts of record disallowed the claims for mileage to obtain meals, notwithstanding the mileage authorization in the travel orders, noting that four public national-franchise-type restaurants are located at 'This decision was requested by Lieutenant Colonel J.C.
