Perhaps this will jog his memory:
WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Feeney has insisted for years that he didn’t know convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff paid for their luxury golfing trip to Scotland in 2003.
But an e-mail obtained by the St. Petersburg Times on Wednesday shows that Abramoff’s office sent specific instructions on how to report the trip expenses to a handful of people, including Feeney’s congressional assistant.
The e-mail from Holly Bowers, Abramoff’s then-assistant, instructs recipients to say a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, paid for the trip at a cost of $5,643 per person.
In reality, the extravagant trip that began with a trans-Atlantic flight on a private jet and featured twice-daily golf at world-famous locales cost about $160,000, or $20,000 per person for each of the eight attendees.
