Ray L. Rice wrote a letter to Congressman Jones expressing his frustration over Treasury Secretary Simon's expensive trip to Moscow, questioning the purpose of the trip and criticizing government spending. Congressman Jones responded, assuring Rice that he shares his concerns about government spending and values his opinions. The newspaper article attached to Rice's letter detailed the costly nature of Simon's trip and the lack of official purpose for it. Simon's trip to Moscow was described as a "junket" by a Treasury official, and the article raised questions about the necessity and significance of the trip.
