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
