DECISION


THE CO PTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UINITED STATES


                         WASHINGTON. o. C. 20 549e



FILE:   B-1988 82             DATE: March!25, 1981

MATTER OF:    Frank W. Kling -Meals at headquarters


An employee of the Internal Revenue
Service attended monthly luncheon meetings
organized by the United States Attorney for
the Eastern District of Michigan for heads
of various law enforcement agencies in the
area. Although the employee was required to
maintain liaison with other Federal agencies
and meetings may have contributed to this
goal, since the luncheon meetings took place
at the employee's official duty station he
is not entitled to reimbursement for the
cost of his luncheons.


     Ms. V. G. Leist(an authorized certifying officer
with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), has asked
whether Mr. Frank W. Kling, an IRS employee, may be
reimbursed luncheon expenses incurred by him at his
official duty stationj


                          FACTS

     Mr. Kling, whose official duty station is Detroit,
Michigan, states that the United States Attorney for
the Eastern District of Michigan has organized monthly
luncheon meetings for the heads of v-arious law enforce-
ment agencies in the Detroit area. M. Kling states
that as a part of his job at IRS he is required to
maintain liaison and open communication with other
Federal agencies and attendance at the monthly luncheon
meetings contributes significantly to maintaining this
liaisoh

     Mr. Kling, having attended two such monthly lun-
cheon meetings, has submitted a claim for luncheons at
a cost of $11 and $14, respectively, minus the amount
he normally spends for lunch, $2, for a total claim of
$21. Ms. Leist asks whether Mr. Kling may be paid for
his luncheon expenses.
