Attorney General Eric Holder disputed a Government Accountability Office
report on his use of Justice Department airplanes for personal trips, saying
it overstated the number of trips he took and failed to recognize that some
trips were job-related.
"My staff keeps telling me to take it easy, you know, well, this is one that
gets me," Holder told Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., during a House Appropriations
subcommittee hearing. "There was this notion that we've taken -- I think it
was described as hundreds of personal trips. That was wrong. GAO counted
flights, not round trips. And we looked at it and figured out from the time
period that they were looking, we took not hundreds, but 27 personal, four
combined -- official and nonpersonal trips -- and none of the trips that I
took or that the [FBI] director took ever had an impact on the mission
capability of those airplanes."

Holder made the comment when asked if he would report those trips to the
General Services Administration in the future.
"We didn't have a reporting requirement that existed before," he said. "If
they want to change those rules, we'd be more than glad to make sure that we
share that information with the appropriate organization, but this is
something that is really wide open."
Holder noted that he has responded to multiple Freedom of Information Act
requests and provided the information to GAO, as well as to Sen. Chuck
Grassley, R-Iowa.
"Just so that people understand that we're making appropriate use of DOJ
aircraft," Holder told Wolf. "A lot of this stuff was described as mission
and nonmission, and the way in which that was defined was not necessarily
correct, because a nonmission trip -- for instance, the trip that I took to
Newtown to visit the school after the shooting -- was described as a
nonmission trip." | m********8 发帖数: 7463 | 2 这个本来就是part of benefits,何谈公汽私用?
