Sniffen the associated press Washington a among his first actions As director of the . Marshals service k. Michael Moore upgraded his government car to a Lincoln and had a Chan delivered executive dining room built Yards from his office door documents show. The Senate appropriations committee says Moore failed to get Advance approval for the dining room As required by a Law designed to curb the amount of tax Money government executives spend on their own comforts. But a Justice department official said the Law did no to apply. Moore took Over the service nov. 26, 1989, the first director appointed by a president under a new Law reflecting the services rising reputation. Moore is now under review for a nomination to a Federal judgeship. That Law put the service on a bureaucratic Par with the Fri and the drug enforcement administration said marshals spokesman Steve Boyle. But the services new standing had not brought the traditional perquisites of Power in Washington. Moore acquired two in his first seven weeks on the Job according to the documents. He replaced the 1988 Mercury grand Marquis that his predecessor Stanley Morris had driven with a dark Blue 1990 Lincoln town car. The Mercury leased for $3,075 a year the Lincoln for $5,100. Then he ordered the Kitchenette near his office expanded and a conference room converted to a dining room. The Cost was $15,707, including $1,449.50 in overtime to get the Job done quickly. Federal Law limits presidential appointees to no More than $5,000 to redecorate or improve their offices without Advance approval from the House and Senate appropriations committees which Moore did not obtain. But he did ask the Justice department to approve the redecoration. Harold g. Devoe of the Justice management division who approved the request said the spending limit did no to apply because his division had interpreted the Law to cover Only a the immediate office not the  but a spokesperson for the Senate appropriations committee said a the intent of the Law is to include the whole office suite. It would appear they should have come to us  Devoe said the regulation that would have denied Moore a dining room was suspended temporarily when the marshals did their work. Bob Goodman of the general service administration said the regulation technically is Back in Force but is not being enforced while a new temporary replacement is readied. As for Moore a car Boyle said a it was about time for the lease to run out on the 2-year-old vehicle Stan Morris had  but the services records show the Mercury was not replaced for another year. Why switch to the Lincoln a room a Boyle said. Morris who is 6-foot-2, said he had no problems with the Mercury that his 5-foot-10 successor replaced
