C. 20548 FILE: B-212447 DATE: December 7, 1983 MATTER OF: Expenses of President's Commission on Executive Exchange DIGEST: 1. President's Commission on Executive Exchange may use its private sector participation fees main- tained in OPM revolving fund described in 5 U.S.C. S 1304(e)(1) for the costs of a word pro- cessor and postage machine as those expenditures are directly in furtherance of the statutory pur- poses, i.e., the costs of education, set forth in Public a-w 97-412. 2. Expenses for the reupholstered furniture and insurance for works of art are general admin- istrative costs that must be paid out of OPM salary and expense account rather than from private sector participation fees. 3.

Consistent with our views below, we have no objection to the expenditures; however, we believe the reupholstery and insurance should be paid out of OPM's salary and expense appropriation.
