individual with an unsatisfactory credit history where such card is 
used to pay travel expenses and the agency determines there is no 
suitable alternative payment mechanism available before issuing the 
card; or (2) an individual who lacks a credit history. Each executive 
department and agency shall establish guidelines and procedures for 
disciplinary actions to be taken against agency personnel for improper, 
fraudulent, or abusive use of government charge cards, which shall
