Unreliable source

An article by The Associated Press on Friday about a report by the Center for Public Integrity on travel by White House employees that was paid for by outside groups included erroneous information from the center on the trips' value, the number of officials who took more than $10,000 in trips and the amounts spent by several sponsors. The center attributed the mistakes to what it called data entry errors discovered after its release of the report.

Between 1998 and 2004, the trips were valued at $1.5 million, not $2.3 million. The number of White House officials who took more than $10,000 in sponsored trips was 23, not 51. One official, not 29 officials, worked in Vice President Al Gore's office. AFL-CIO unions spent $18,087, not $200,000. The World Anti-Doping Agency, not the AFL-CIO, was the largest sponsor of such trips, spending $40,260. Eli Lilly and Co. spent $2,226, not more than $20,000. Harvard University spent $28,857, not $85,137. Link
