With Trust Officers at
that I am individually offering for
consideration by the 93rd
Congress is an anti-junketing bill.
It is a bill designed to end the
much-abused practice of over
seas travel by “lame-duck”
Congressmen at the taxpayers’
expense
Last year there were more
retirements than usual from the
Congress. Far too many of these
retiring Members decided to take
one last fling overseas on
government money That ex
perience should make it obvious
that we need a law to make sure
that such trips are not permitted
in the future
Certain traveling done by
Congressmen involves legitimate
and necessary government
business But in no way can a
“lame-duck” Congressman
seeing the world at government
expense be called official
business
Therefore, I have drafted what
I think is a tough bill to end
junkets It bans overseas travel
by “lame duck” Members In
addition, it goes further than
most previous bills of its kind by
attaching a criminal penalty in
the form of a $2500 fine for
violation of the law
Under this bill, retiring or

part of any appropriation and no
Federal property (for example,
military aircraft) m connection
with travel outside the United
States And any “lame duck”
who knowingly used Federal
money or property for such
travel would be subject to the
fine
Evidently, there is some en
thusiasm for this type of
legislation this year One of the
national news magazines men
tioned recently that plans are
underway to get anti-junket
legislation moving
A colleague from Illinois,
Robert Michel, is introducing a
similar bill that I plan to co
sponsor The difference between
the Michel approach and my own
is that his bill contains no
reference to use of Federal
property nor does it establish any
criminal penalties
However, it seems to me that
some kind of legislation of this
type is so vital that I am willing to
join on any measure that seems
to have some chance of getting
passed
Why do I say it is vital 7 After
all, none of the great issues of our
time really seem to be involved
But the central issue here is not
the junkets themselves The real
issue is the harm they do in
destroying people’s confidence m
elected officials And with con
fidence in Congress at such a low
ebb, maybe in that light the anti
junket bill becomes somewhat
more significant
One of the problems with this
kind of bill is that as we move
away from last year’s junketing
season, the enthusiasm for doing
something about it legislatively
begins to cool And as we move
toward the season when other
Members begin to think about
retiring or are beginning to get
defeated, the legislative
prospects go from cool to cold.
