He stated that he would not accept the invitation unless he could earn the money. He insists on performing with his band while visiting the country. He is a musician and wants to be recognized for his music. Clinton stated he receives a minimum of $25,000 per performance when he travels...

I wonder if his band members are paid in the same manner? The Traveler's Check method of payment certainly is slick. I also wonder if the old IRS rule of 'working' overseas, such that the first $75,000.00 of income is tax exempt, applies here.
