By Clayton Potts Under instructions of its Board of Policy, Liberty Lobby is pressing Congress to ban the use of taxpayer funds for employees to travel to secret meeting to conduct public business. The ban would cover all members of Congress, the executive and judicial branches. At present, leaders in Congress, high officials of government and the White House attend secret meetings of Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission at taxpayer expense. At these meetings, they help develop policy that affects every American, yet remain unaccountable to anyone in authority. Under the "Secret Meetings Act" as proposed by Liberty Lobby, Bilderberg would have to allow the press and broadcast outlets to observe Bilderberg meetings and interview participants or U.S. officials would have to pay their own costs. These costs are significant: attendees do not fly coach and the secret sessions are always held at expensive, luxury resorts. BOP VOTE The Board of Policy voted overwhelmingly -- by m9ore than 99 percent -- for Liberty Lobby to lobby for this legislation.

Under instructions of its Board of Policy, Liberty Lobby is pressing Congress to ban the use of taxpayer funds for employees to travel to secret meeting to conduct public business.

The ban would cover all members of Congress, the executive and judicial branches.

At these meetings, they help develop policy that affects every American, yet remain unaccountable to anyone in authority.
