From the Senate Finance Committee report on Daschle:

Outstanding Issues
Committee staff still is reviewing whether travel and entertainment services provided to the Daschles by EduCap, Inc., Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation, Academy Achievement, and Loan to Learn should be reported as income.
In response to Committee staff inquiries, the senator provided additional documentation for the Daschles charitable contributions for 2005, 2006, 2007. Staff notes that while copies of checks were provided, the proper donee acknowledgement for contributions over $250 was not provided for many of the charitable contributions as required for deductibility. The returns were not amended for these amounts.

It’s not like he learned yesterday he was going to be the HHS pick. Seems like the verifications should have been obtainable.
