\1\ Per diem constitutes lodging and meals.
\2\ If foreign currency is used, enter U.S. dollar equivalent; if U.S. currency is used, enter amount expended.
\3\ This amount for travel is filed under protest. Despite my repeated requests, the U.S. State Department is not pursuing the refund to which it is entitled on a refundable ticket. If that
  refund had been properly obtained, this reported amount would and should be lower.
