handle is hein.gao/gaobadhpf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548 FILE: B-193955 DATE: September 14, 1979 MATTER OF:ijayment of Luncheon Expenses L-t Training Conferenc) DIGEST: Voucher covering expenses of luncheon for Government civilian and military employee participants at Personnel Management for Executives training conference may be paid as a training expense under the Training Act since the issuance of the purchase order by the Army constitutes a supportable deter- mination that the luncheon is a necessary training expense. Major R. C. McClellan, Finance and Accounting DD Officer, Department of the Army, Headquarters, FortPC Sam Houston, Texas, requests an advance decision as to the propriety of payment from appropriated funds of a voucher for $202.50 in favor of the El Tropicano)9 Motor Hotel (reference AFZG-CM-FAPA). The voucher covers the cost of a March 17, 1977, luncheon for 27 Government employee participants and support staff at a Personnel Management for Executives (PME) training conference, conducted in the vicinity of their perma- nent duty station. Other participants in the confer- ence who received a per diem allowance were required to pay for the luncheon. We are advised by the coordinator for the South- west Regional Training Center that the luncheon was mandatory for PME conference participants and that one of the guest speakers gave a presentation entitled The Risk Takers, which was considered to be training as much as any other subject covered during the confer- ence. Following the luncheon and speakers' presenta- tion, certificates of completion were distributed. This formal ending and 'graduation' from PME is alleged to be a longstanding tradition at the Southwest Regionalyk~o Training Center, which conducted the conference. For these reasons, the coordinator recommends payment to the hotel, as authorized by Purchase Order No. DADAll- 77-M-2897.
