It refers to the alleged selling of seats on United States federal planes going on international trade missions, for the purpose of raising campaign contributions.

Ang said that climbers can die if they use all their energy getting to the summit of Mount Everest, only to be too fatigued for the descent.

  Title: Henry Cisneros payments controversy
  Passage: The Henry Cisneros payments controversy was a lengthy investigation begun in 1995 into allegations that Henry Cisneros, United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the Presidency of Bill Clinton, had lied to the FBI background check investigators about payments he had made to his former mistress.  Independent Counsel David Barrett was appointed to investigate the matter.  In 1995 Cisneros was indicted; in 1997 he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor; in 2001 he was pardoned by President Bill Clinton.  The Independent Counsel investigation continued, however, focusing on allegations of obstruction of justice by the Clinton administration.  It issued a final report, known as the Barrett Report, in 2006 that did little to resolve matters.

  Title: White House FBI files controversy
  Passage: The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate, arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents.  Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission.  The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.  Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position.  Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.

  Title: White House travel office controversy
  Passage: The White House travel office controversy, sometimes referred to as Travelgate, was the first major ethics controversy of the Clinton administration.  It began in May 1993, when seven employees of the White House Travel Office were fired.  This action was unusual because although theoretically staff employees serve at the pleasure of the President and could be dismissed without cause, in practice, such employees usually remain in their posts for many years.
