          of petitioner's residence.  According to petitioner, during those           
          periods, Melanie's boyfriend would remain in residence at the               
          property provided for Melanie by the PHA.  Such occupation by an            
          unauthorized person was contrary to Melanie's lease on the                  
          property and also contrary to Federal laws concerning PHA                   
          operations.                                                                 
               During the years in issue, petitioner was employed as a                
          staff representative in the District Council 88 Office of the               
          American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees               
          (hereinafter AFSCME).  AFSCME is a union that represents public             
          employees.  Petitioner's job as a staff representative required             
          her to travel to various work sites and speak with the union                
          members at each location.                                                   
               The testimony of Jesse M. Evans (Evans), who is employed by            
          AFSCME as the business manager of Council 13 for the State of               
          Pennsylvania, establishes that AFSCME had two different methods             
          of paying for petitioner's job-related travel.  The first method            
          was through the provision of an automatic travel allowance that             
          was included in petitioner's paycheck.  The travel allowance is a           
          taxable allowance for which petitioner was not required to                  
          provide any receipts to receive payment.  The travel allowance              
          consisted of a car allowance, an in-town per diem, and an                   
          allowance for car insurance.  Petitioner received travel                    
          allowances of $10,249.96 and $10,489.96 for 1993 and 1994,
