                                       - 10 -                                         
          Bradley further testified that the trips occurred when the                  
          shuttle and taxi services were not available, i.e., after normal            
          business hours (or when he anticipated completing his duties                
          after normal hours) or on weekends.                                         
               We find a number of problems with Mr. Bradley's testimony.             
          First, although Mr. Bradley created the impression in his direct            
          testimony that he was required to travel to a number of                     
          subcontractors' offices in addition to the Space Center, on                 
          cross-examination Mr. Bradley conceded that there were only two             
          subcontractors that he was required to visit in 1992, Loral and             
          Bendix Corporation, and that Bendix's offices were located across           
          the street from Mr. Bradley's office.  As to how he incurred                
          daily mileage generally exceeding 40 miles, Mr. Bradley testified           
          that multiple trips were required.  Mr. Bradley also testified              
          that the distance between his office at Unisys and the Loral                
          location was 5.5 to 6.5 miles.  He did not offer an estimate of             
          the distance between Unisys and the Space Center.  However,                 
          another Unisys employee called by respondent testified that the             
          distance between Unisys and Loral was 3 to 3.5 miles, and the               
          distance between Unisys and the Space Center was 3 miles.  A                
          scaled map introduced by respondent corroborates these estimates,           
          and we accordingly find that the distances are as estimated by              
          respondent's witness.  At these distances, Mr. Bradley would have           
          had to make approximately five to seven round-trips between                 
          Unisys and Loral and/or the Space Center each day, after normal
