On June 7, Mr. Sununu used a jet provided by Fiber Materials Inc. of Biddeford, Maine, to travel to a fund-raiser for the Maine Republican party. White House Chief of Staff John Sununu has used five different corporate jets to travel to Republican fund-raisers in the past six weeks and the White House says he will continue to use such jets rather than government planes for political travel. Meanwhile Sununu created another, what President Bush calls, "appearance problem" by using a government limousine for a private trip to a stamp auction in New York. The president said Monday that his administration is working with Congress on legislation aimed at curbing wasteful spending but did not say whether it would include provisions requiring presidential candidates to disclose their campaign expenses.
