[Publib] government rate at hotels

[Judy Anderson]

I've had varied experience with the government rate. Some will just give it 
based on your say so. Some want a government ID, although a business card 
can do. Some insist on a document proving that you are traveling on 
government business, not just that you are a government employee. I have 
found that some don't care if you are on government business, very nice for 
personal travel.
