He says that Belle Haven Consultants, a for-profit, Hong Kong--based firm linked to the Malaysian government, played a key role. "Heritage had nothing to do with it," says the senior fellow, former Wyoming Senator Malcolm Wallop. "Belle Haven did." It would be a violation of House ethics rules if a group other than the official sponsor paid for a trip for a member of Congress.

But as along as the comedians don’t mind working for cheap, I don’t mind either...
...wreck it either. It was the symbolic point on which the company finally foundered, while the film itself, for which Bach has little remaining regard, endures. It was ecstatically reviewed in London when the uncut version was released there in 1983 and actually brought a few dollars' profit into the distribution coffers.
