WASHINGTON --U.S. Rep. Nancy Johnson is defending a trip she took this year to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands at the expense of the Nature Conservancy.


The Hartford Courant reported Wednesday that Johnson, R-Conn., and her husband were treated to almost $17,900 in travel, meals and lodging on the trip, which began May 28 and ended on June 5.

Johnson went on the trip as a member of the International Conservation Caucus, a bipartisan congressional group that supports international conservation programs."
