I'm curious about how your agency will be enforcing this new edict. Especially since my agency hasn't implemented the same.
If you have the option of booking a Marriott hotel at the same per-diem price as a FedRooms hotel what can your agency do about it? IMO it would be difficult to justify denying reimbursement when the cost is the same.
P.S. I'd like the last two thirds of my FT handle back please...
