Summary:

In response to several congressional inquiries concerning the use by a White House official of a military helicopter to visit Camp David and a golf course on May 24, 1994, GAO sought information on helicopter flights by White House staff in instances where the President, the Vice President, the First Lady or the wife of the Vice President was not traveling. Since 1976, the Marine Corps' HMX-1 Squadron in Quantico, Virginia, has been responsible for providing helicopter support to the White House. According to HMX- 1 manual records, approximately 1,200 flights were flown to support the President, Vice President, First Lady, and heads of state during the 16 months prior to May 24, 1994. These records indicated that, as previously disclosed by the White House, staff members flew 14 times without the President, Vice President, First Lady or heads of state during the period in question.
