2. When a training grant offered by a foreign country includes provisions for a predetermined stipend, per diem, subsistence, lodging and other allowances, the amount of such privileges shall be deducted from his per diem entitlement. In the event that the amount given by the sponsoring government is equal to or more than the amount authorized herein, the per diem allowance provided in this Letter of Implementation shall not be paid.
3. The clothing allowance fixed herein is subject to the limitation on frequency set by Executive Order No. 129, s-68 as amended by Executive Order No. 421, s-73.
