I was reading with some mild interest an article in the on-line version of the National Law Journal about the USDOJ report reviewing the travel expenses of the various US attorneys. You can see the article, with a link to the actual report, here: http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2010/11/doj-report-questions-us-attorney-travel-costs.html. What I found interesting is that the report takes several US attorneys to task for not traveling at the Government rate and not adequately documenting the reason for the divergence.
