facilitate the governmental duties and functions of the State
agency requesting such training; and (2) Do the facts establish
that there is a reasonable, substantial and direct relationship
between the purpose of the training and the accomplishment of the
governmental functions entrusted to the employee? Attorney Gen-
eral's Opinions WW-83 (1957), WW-223 (1957), WW-433 (1958).
In Attorney General's Opinion WW-505 (1958), this of-
fice approved the attendance of the Chief Appraiser, the Executive
Secretary, and an attorney of the Veterans' Land Board at an ap-
praisal conference, utilizing basically the same criteria set forth
above. From the facts presented, we see no distinction between
the fact situation and that presented in Attorney General's Op-
inion WW-505.
Accordingly, you are advised that it is the opinion
of this office that Attorney General's Opinion WW-505 (1958)
controls the question of whether the attendance of Veterans'
Land Board appraisers at appraisal schools constitutes a com-
pliance with the criteria set forth, supra. The attendance of
your appraisers at the school would facilitate the governmental
duties and functions of the State, and there is a direct relation-
ship between the purpose of the training and the accomplishment
of the governmental functions of the employee,
Section 18, Article V, General Appropriation Act of
the 59th Legislature, 1965, pertaining to expenditure of money
for dues or registration in joining or attending any type of
organization, has no application to the facts submitted by you,
so long as the State employees do not join the organization.
Merely taking a course of instruction is not joining or attend-
ing any type of organization.
SUMMAR Y
Appraisers employed by the Veterans' Land
Board may attend an appraisal school at Texas
A&M University, and have their registration fees
paid by the State.,
Yours very truly,
WAGGONER CARR
Attorney General
