Sec. 26. Transportation by contract
The Secretary may contract with field employees for the rental and
use within the continental limits of the United States of means of
transportation, other than motorcycle, automobile, or airplane, and for
the rental and use outside of the continental United States of any means
of transportation, which means may be owned by the field employee. Such
rental contracts shall be made without regard to section 4 of the Travel
Expense Act of 1949, as amended (5 U.S.C. 837). The rentals shall be at
rates equivalent to the prevailing rental rates of the locality. The
rental contracts within the continental United States may be entered
into only when the use by the field employee of such other means of
transportation is safer, more economical, or more advantageous to the
Government than use of his motorcycle, automobile, or airplane in
conducting the census.
