On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
I think now we can see why Mrs. Clinton apparently wanted to get rid of the White House travel agency; they have a travel expert in the Secretary of Energy, Ms. O'Leary. Listen to these great winter fares: India, $729,000; Pakistan, for a mere half million dollars; China, $845,000; and the new low winter discount, South Africa for $560,000. No wonder the White House does not need a travel agency. These are great rates. I understand, Mr. Speaker and Members of Congress, if you like to travel with your family, your friends, your staff, your associates, the persons you stand next to in the grocery store line, anybody you happen to see on the street, bring them all. They have a fleet of airplanes that used to belong to Madonna or somebody like that, and they can let you fly in comfort with an airplane with stand-up bars, beds, piped-in Barbra Streisand music and everything else in the world. It is a wonderful thing to be doing while the Federal employees are shut out of work because we pay $20 billion each month on interest on the national debt. Mr. Speaker, this is a national scandal. I would say it is time to do the right thing. Resign, Ms. O'Leary; let the taxpayers have a break.
