To provide for furnishing transportation in Government-owned automotive vehicles for employees of the Veterans’ Administration at field stations in the absence of adequate public or private transportation.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That until July 1, 1955, the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs, whenever he finds such action to be necessary for the efficient conduct of the affairs of the Veterans’ Administration, and under such regulations as he may prescribe, is authorized to utilize automotive equipment of the Veterans’ Administration to transport its employees between field stations and nearest adequate public transportation at such reasonable rates of fare for the service furnished as he may establish. All moneys collected as fares from such employees shall be accounted for and shall he deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of miscellaneous receipts. The authority herein granted the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs shall be exercised with respect to any station only after determination by the Administrator that existing private and other facilities are not and cannot be rendered adequate by other means, and that, its exercise will result in the most efficient method of supplying transportation to the personnel concerned and a proper utilization of transportation facilities.
