TITLE V--POLICY STATEMENTS

SEC. 5001. POLICY STATEMENT ON THE LUXURY JET PURCHASED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that it was
improper--
(1) for the Department of Homeland Security to expend
$70,000,000 on a luxury jet, which included a bedroom with a
queen-sized bed, to be used by then-Secretary of Homeland
Security Kristi Noem for executive travel when the Department
already had sufficient travel accommodations for the
Secretary; and
(2) for the White House to then commandeer that jet for use
by select Cabinet Secretaries and the First Lady.
