Presidential travel to foreign destinations requires planning, coordination,
and logistical and personnel support. The estimated incremental costs of
President Clinton’s trips to Africa, Chile, and China were at least$42.8 million, $10.5 million, and $18.8 million, respectively.
Let's see, three trips, eight countries, 28 days, about 2400 people and the total was about $72.5 million. Those are the figures the GAO reported and it took me approximately 10 minutes to find it on the internet. I guess that's just too much trouble for anyone in Rightwing Land. They would rather just make stuff up and pass it around among themselves.
