On the recordJanuary 10, 1995

I have difficulty understanding the disagreement that exists. As I understand it, you are talking about a public property here, which is these so-called frequent flier miles that have been accumulated with taxpayers' dollars being converted to personal use. I always thought that was against the law to take public property and convert it to personal use. I do not understand why we are having to pass laws on this issue. I did not realize that it was just a question of which rule you wanted to adopt. I always thought it was against the law to take public property and convert it to private use. Am I missing something?
