Congress members used a $7,625 per hour Air Force jet for Monterey Bay Jamaica and Bermuda conferences funded by the Aspen Institute. Seventeen of twenty attendees in Jamaica chose Air Force travel over free commercial flights, costing taxpayers about $55,000, and 12 of 20 in Bermuda cost about $28,000. The practice faced questions from Foley and Hamilton about budget awareness, while Aspen billed expenses as paid by the institute.
