Moment. Let me refrain the question. Is it ever permissible to go to a hair salon or your personal gym unrelated to that exemption for you or your family or to purchase gift cards in using a governmentissued debit card, purchase card, credit card . Not unless it has a government associated use, an approved use. And are the policies you look at epa explicit about that prohibition . They are not explicit about the prohibition. They are not . Right, that was part of our recommendation in the report is that they be more explicit about the issues of gym memberships and gift cards, that they need to improve controls there. Epa is in the process of improving their policies in that area, but they have not completed their policies in that area. That doesnt sound complicated. What goes through one ones mind if you have a federally issued credit card and decide i need groceries tonight. Why not just put it on the government card . Im not saying anyone has ever done that, but clearly some alarm be
