Instructions to AUSA:
Use this form for all fact witnesses within the U.S. except government employees and military
personnel, for whom a Request for Armed Forces or Government-Employee Witness should be
used. For foreign witnesses, use the International Witness Travel Request. Complete an Early or
Extended stay memo if the witness is being brought in more than 3 business days prior to court/GJ
testimony. Note that witnesses may only be brought in under the FEWS appropriation for grand
jury testimony, court testimony, or preparation for same. NB: as to grand jury, this applies only in
the relatively infrequent occasions where time in the grand jury has been scheduled and the witness
is intended to testify. Any other witness travel for investigative interviews must be covered by the
investigating component from litigative funds (it is generally more common for investigators to
travel to the witness). See 28 C.F.R. Part 21, Witness Fees; USAP 3-19.000, Fact Witnesses and
Fees and Expenses of Witnesses (FEW) Appropriation; Guiding Principles for Obtaining Witness
Services Under the Fees and Expenses of Witnesses Appropriation,
