A resolution amending the Rules of the House of Representatives with respect to use of committee funds for travel.

Summary

Amends rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives to require a Member to include in the itemized report required after a visit to a foreign country an analysis of the extent to which the legislative objectives of such travel were realized. Prohibits a committee from reimbursing a Member or employee for travel expenses unless: (1) such person requests the committee to authorize the travel; (2) the request sets forth the itinerary, legislative objectives, and projected costs; and (3) the committee authorizes such travel by rollcall vote. Revises the prohibition on the use by a lame duck Member of local currencies owned by the United States for travel outside the United States to prohibit such use after a primary where the Member has been defeated for nomination to a Federal office (other than President).
