According to disclosure forms filed for privately sponsored travel between January 1, 2000, and June 30, 2005, there were no trips sponsored by a sole telecommunications, media or technology organization for this member or his/her staff. The legislator or staffers may have taken trips co-sponsored by an organization in this sector. To investigate that possibility, use the Power Trips database.
