(b) to (d), inclusive, of section 7 of the Administrative Expenses Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 808, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 73b–3) are amended to read as follows:
“(b) Appropriations for the departments shall be available in accordance with regulations prescribed by the President, for expenses of travel of persons appointed, and of student trainees when promoted upon completion of college work, to positions in the United States for which there is determined by the Civil Service Commission to be a manpower shortage, and for expenses of transportation of their immediate families and their household goods and personal effects and for advances of funds to the extent authorized by section 1 (a) and (b) of this Act, from their places of actual residence at time of selection or promotion to their duty station. Travel and transportation expenses shall not lie paid upon promotion of a student trainee after completion of college work if such expenses were paid upon his appointment as a student trainee. Such travel expenses may include per diem and mileage allowance as provided for civilian officers and employees
by the Travel Expense Act of 1949, as amended. Travel and transportation expenses may be allowed whether the person selected has been appointed or not at the time of such travel. However, the travel and transportation expenses authorized by this subsection shall not be allowed unless the person selected or promoted shall agree in writing to remain in the Government service for twelve months following his appointment or promotion unless separated for reasons beyond his control and acceptable to the department or agency concerned. In case of violation of such agreement, any moneys expended by the United States on account of such travel and transportation shall be recoverable from the individual concerned as a debt due the United States.
“(c) The authority of the Civil Service Commission to determine for purposes of this Act positions for which there is a manpower shortage shall not be delegated.
“(d) Nothing contained in this section shall impair or otherwise affect the authority of any department under existing law to pay travel and transportation expenses of persons designated in subsection (b) hereof.”
