Sec. 26. Transportation by contract

    The Secretary may contract with field employees for the rental and 
use within the continental limits of the United States of means of 
transportation, other than motorcycle, automobile, or airplane, and for 
the rental and use outside of the continental United States of any means 
of transportation, which means may be owned by the field employee. Such 
rental contracts shall be made without regard to section 4 of the Travel 
Expense Act of 1949, as amended (5 U.S.C. 837). The rentals shall be at 
rates equivalent to the prevailing rental rates of the locality. The 
rental contracts within the continental United States may be entered 
into only when the use by the field employee of such other means of 
transportation is safer, more economical, or more advantageous to the 
Government than use of his motorcycle, automobile, or airplane in 
conducting the census.
