Q. Was that about Martha's trip from Sioux City to<br />
Des Moines where she detoured to Altoona to drop off a dog<br />
for an employee in the Northern District?<br />
A. On February 19, yes.<br />
Q. Is that what you contacted GC about?<br />
A. Yes.<br />
Q. Had there been any other contacts with the EOUSA<br />
General Counsel regarding Martha Fagg, other than that issue,<br />
prior to the March 9 memo?<br />
A. I don't remember any other specific ones.<br />
Q. Was the purpose of contacting the General Counsel's<br />
Office about that issue to figure out how to properly<br />
reimburse Martha Fagg?<br />
A. Yes, we hadn't -- I hadn't, certainly, and people in<br />
this office, the Administrative Officer and the Budget<br />
Officer, hadn't come across such a situation, so we wanted to<br />
make sure we were doing it correctly.<br />
Q. Okay. So what was -- What was odd about the<br />
situation?<br />
A. It was odd that Martha didn't inform her supervisor<br />
that she was combining personal travel with official travel.<br />
That's something that if you're, you know, going to extend an<br />
official trip by one day, you have to do documentation in<br />
advance to show that you're going to stay an extra day, or do<br />
personal work while you're on official travel.<br />
