Harkin Rejects Free Korea Trip and Lady Tutor Offer
Rep. Tom Harkin said he turned down an expense paid Korea trip and an offer of an attractive young lady to teach him about the country. The offer came with an honorary degree from the University of Seoul, extended because his wife Ruth is Story County attorney. Harkin noted he was the only Iowa congressman contacted by South Korea, amid reports linking Tongsun Park to influence campaigns.
