[tei-council] Food per diem amounts

[Brett Barney]

Hi James and all,

Directives from last year indicated that our per diem rate was 70% of the US State Dept.'s figure, which would mean $50/day. Assuming that's right, I think the by-meal breakdown would go like this:

breakfast: $12.50 (25%)
lunch: $17.50 (35%)
supper: $20 (40%)

Does this all seem right?

Thanks,
Brett
