Travel prior approval Dr. Charles Graham 20 Jan 1994 17:51 EST
I will forward responses sent to the listserv to Bill Boston, who is not a member at present. Charlie Graham. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Prior to the 10/91 revision to OMB circular A-21 specific prior approval was required for each separate foreign trip and for domestic travel when the expenditure exceeded the amount budgeted by more than 25% or $500.00. The 10/91 revision omitted all prior approval for travel expenditures. It was our understanding that this was an oversight by OMB and that prior approval would be reinstituted in a future revision. We therefore made the decision to continue requiring institutional prior approval for travel in anticipation of the next revision to A-21 correcting the "oversight". The 7/93 revision, however, did not reinstate prior approval requirements. Therefore, we are considering a revision to our institutional prior approval system to discontinue requiring prior approval for travel. We would be very interested in any comments you have on this issue and, specifically, how you handle institutional prior approval at your institution.

Over the last few weeks, I have seen a number of questions that are of interest. I would have liked to view the responses. If your internal mailing system is like mine...it automatically responds to the sender and NOT to the server. One of the major benefits of the server is being lost. Unless it is personnel...please send all of your responses, to user questions, to the server, xxxxxx@VIRGINIA.EDU. We have added two more names...Ann Stevens of Emory and some guy with chapped lips from Vanderbilt. When you post a message to the server, you may receive an error message from xxxxxx@USCN. It has been a problem...we will try to fix. Think warm...this cold weather can't last forever. GO HOOS!!!!!!! Timothy Conlon UVA TIM CONLON xxxxxx@sysm.acs.Virginia.EDU
