Junket Critics Question Overseas Congressional Trips
The piece denounces the 92nd Congress travel abroad as wasteful while in lame duck status, noting 12 senators and wives on a nine day study mission to four Eastern European countries at taxpayer expense. It questions the trip’s purpose and the absence of Foreign Relations Committee members, warns of eroding public sympathy amid budget battles, and cites 1971 trip costs to illustrate travel excess. It also covers Nixon Kissinger Paris talks and a secret plan to reduce North Vietnamese troops in South Vietnam with a phased withdrawal and continued Viet Cong control areas.
