[tei-council] Food per diem amounts

[James Cummings]

A reminder that the maximum per diem for all meals for a TEI 
council meeting is $71/day.

These come from the GSA rates at 
http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104877 (when the location is 
within the US, we use the State Department's rates 
http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp when outside).

Previously we've broken these into Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner to 
match the

but that is the target that you should be trying to keep under if 
you don't want to be out-of-pocket.

In the cases where we are all having a meal out together it has 
often been the case that someone whose credit card is in local US 
currency will pay and then submit a full and detailed receipt to 
be reimbursed for this. (This stops extra expenses from exchange 
rates, etc.)  In cases where someone pays then you should _not_ 
claim for that meal, lest JohnU get confused.

Best,

-James
