The Committee used aircraft provided by various charter service corporations for campaign related travel during the 2000 presidential campaign. The Committee paid some of these carriers the lower first class air rate rather than the charter rate. The FEC Audit Division concluded that the Committee paid only $27,718 to the carriers when it should have paid them $123,227, a difference of $95,509. The Committee acknowledged its error and accepted the Audit Division?s recommendation that it repay $95,509 to the U. S. Treasury. The Commission received the check in that amount on March 13, 2003.
