<p>By DAVID ELLIS/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> Some Bush Administration insiders are acidly recounting
the irony of a blunt lecture John Su nunu delivered to former
Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos last December. When the chief
of staff summoned the ineffectual Cabinet member and asked him
to resign, Sununu included a few sharp comments on Cavazos'
travel habits. The Secretary usually took along his wife Peggy
Ann, and is suspected of paying her fares with frequent-flyer
credits he earned on official business--an apparent violation
of federal rules requiring those bonuses to be turned over to
the government. The couple also preferred to travel on TWA, even
when other carriers offered more direct routes. Because Cavazos'
son worked for the airline, the Secretary's wife was able to fly
free. Sununu's heavy use of military flights earned him a slap
on the wrist, but Ca vazos' machinations are the subject of a
Justice Department criminal investigation.
