Vaughn - Claim for additional per diem during temporary duty in Vietnam. DIGEST: 1. For periods during which civilian employee of Department of Army on temporary duty in Vietnxa was advised Government quarters were not available but was not provided a certificate of naonvailability, employee is entitled to full rather than reduced per diem when it appears that Government quarters were not actually av&ilable and absence of certificates was not his fault. 2. However, for periods during which civilian employee of Department of Amy on tmporary duty in Vietna was offered Government quarters but declined them, employee is entitled only to reduced per diem since the adeouacy of Government cuarters )ro- vided is primarily for consideration by agency and not by GAO. This action is in reconsideration of the deniAl on September 10, 1974, by our Transportation and Clairas Division, of the claim of Mr. Jones E. Vaughn for additional per cien during his tour of. tempo- rary duty in Vietnam. The clain was disallowed on the ground that there is no authority to pay additional per di=m in excess of the reduced rate in absence of certificates of nonavailability of Govern- menlt quarters. Mr. Vaughn, a civilian employee of the U.S. Army Electronics Com- mand, was on temporary duty in Vietamz from July through December 1969. By Travel Order Letter 3-69, dated June 25, 1969, Mr. Vaughn was directed to proceed on or about July 2, 1969, to Long Binh, Vietnam, for a period of approximately 180 days temporary duty. The travel order stated that the occupancy of available Covernment quarters was required during temporary duty in Vietnam pursuant to a determination dated July 23, 1968 (by the Secretary of the Army), under the provisions of 2 Joint Travel Regulations (JTh), para. C 1057-3. Further, the travel order stated that tf Goverm~ent quarters were not available, certifl'ates of nonavaLlability had to be filed with each travel voucher submitted for payment,
