mr. jones: mr. speaker, many members of the house may have seen a recent "wall street journal" article that documented how existing disclosure rimplets allow many of the costs -- requirements allow many of the costs associated with delegation trips overseas to go unreported. right now when members of congress take foreign trips using commercial airlines, the costs are publicly disclosed in reports published in the congressional record. however, the cost of members to foreign trips using military aircraft are not. in the past, members of congress have used military aircraft even when traveling to exotic locations that are readily served by commercial airlines. press reports have indicated that the military even maintains a specially outfitted v.i.p. fleet operated out of andrews air force base which aircraft can carry costs estimated at $10,000 per hour. when a member of congress takes a taxpayer funded trip overseas, taxpayers have a right to know how much of their heard -- their hard-earned money i

mr. president, i wanted to rise to make a statement in honor of and memory of william proctor jones.iam proctor jones died three weeks ago, july 7th, the day before we actually wrote this and marked this bill up in subcommittee. the reason i think it's appropriate to mention proctor jones today is he was a long, long time staff director of this subcommittee and his death is a great sorrow for our members and our staff who worked with him and his life was a great blessing for this country. he first came to work in the united states senate in april of 1961. and he went to work for his home state senator then senator richard russell of georgia. proctor moved to the appropriations committee in 1970 and worked there 27 years until 199. and since -- 1997. since 1973, proctor served as a staff director of the energy and water subcommittee. so for decades, as this bill was brought to the floor of the senate, proctor jones was here sitting on the floor knowing that he played a significant role in putting together the investments this country was making in the critical areas of energy and wate
