Existing differentials between Alaska and the other forty-eight states has not been changed in so far as civil service employees are concerned, according to a decision handed down by Joseph Campbell, Comptroller General of the United States.
The Comptroller General said in effect that the Travel Expense Act of 1949 and the Administrative Expenses Act of 1946 would have to be expressly modified to make the change.
"We find no indication of a legislative intent to abolish the existing differentiation between Alaska and the (other) forty-eight states so far as concerns the Travel Expense Act of 1949 and the Administrative Expense Act of 1946," the Comptroller stated, "we are of the view that after the admission of Alaska into the union as a state such laws should continue to be applied as theretofore until Such time as the Congress may expressly modify such laws to prescribe a different method of application."
