The Korea-U.S. Exchange Council was one of two nonprofit groups that treated members of Congress and staffers to trips to U.S. and overseas resorts from 2001 to 2005. The group, while portraying itself as a traditional nonprofit, was funded entirely by a South Korean conglomerate and was operated by a Washington lobbying firm, Alexander Strategy Group. The council and its lobbyists reported conflicting information about its activities.
