Rep. Rob Simmons spent a few days in late November at a seminar in south Florida, the guest of the American Shipbuilding Association. Rep. Christopher Shays spent a week in Africa in January, courtesy of Planned Parenthood, and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman went to Colorado twice last summer and fall for privately funded trips.
Such trips raise hard-to-answer questions Congress has been debating this month: Should members be allowed to travel at the expense of interests that have business before lawmakers? And if so, should such trips be subject to tough scrutiny by an independent office?
