By virtue of and pursuant to the au thority vested in me by the act of March 26, 1934, ch. 87, 48 Stat. 466, as amended by the act of August 14, 1937, ch. 627, 50
Stat. 641,1 hereby prescribe the following regulations governing payment of losses sustained by officers, enlisted men, and employees of the United States while in service in foreign countries on account of appreciation of foreign currencies in their relation to the American dollar:
DEFINITION

1.
a The words in the act, while service in foreign countries, for the pur pose of these regulations shall be under stood to mean: 1 while employed in or on assignment or detail to a post of duty in a foreign country, 2 while en route through a foreign country or to and from such post, 3 while during such assignment or detail abroad on leave of absence with pay in a foreign country, or, in connection with allowances for living quarters maintained abroad during leave of absence or while under orders in the United States, 4 while traveling in foreign countries under official orders, or 5 while attached to and serving on board United States vessels, when such vessels are stationed in foreign waters.
A vessel is to be considered stationed in foreign waters from the date of first arrival in foreign port or jurisdiction, providing she remains 60 or more con secutive days in foreign waters.
1. b As used in these regulations:
The term net salary means the base salary, less any deductions for contribu tion to the retirement or other fund or on account of percentage deductions in
compensation or allotment of pay. The term net allowances means allowances paid to the employee, including mileage allowance and per diem allowances for dependent members of the employees family in travel status as well as for the employee himself. The term net pay and allowances means the employees full pay, including extra or additional pay, and all allowances other than those furnished in kind less deductions there from on account of allotments, fines and forfeitures, clothing, hospital, Civil Serv ice Retirement fund, percentage deduc tions in compensation, and other sundry checkages. The term country of assign ment means the regular, permanent duty station, as opposed to a temporary duty station or a station of new assign ment for which the employee has not departed. Except as otherwise provided in this order, the term salary and allow ances accruing means the amount being earned and payable at the expiration of regular pay periods, that is, on the fif teenth and last day of each month. The interm salary or allowances earned means the amounts earned on a daily basis for the actual period involved as distinguished from an accrual of salary and allowances and payment a t the ex piration of regular pay periods. The term substantial period of time means any time over and above that necessary for mere transit through a country, al lowing for necessary delays in making transportation connections. The term allowable transit period shall be con sidered to include periods awaiting sail ing outside the United States and the time which would ordinarily be con sumed in direct transit by the usually traveled route unless indirect travel be authorized for official reasons. The term assigned to temporary headquarters in a foreign country refers to employees in a travel status performing special duty at a specific station or stations abroad.
The term detailed for temporary duty to another station refers to employees having a permanent duty station or headquarters abroad who may be de tailed to travel or perform other official duties elsewhere than at such permanent duty station or headquarters. Fractional
