The need today is even more urgent. for the travel deficit has increased by nearly $150 million. President Kennedy has already taken commendable action to encourage foreign travel in the United States. On February 6. he announced the Secretary of Commerce would report. by April 1. on a new travel program to include establishment of travel offices abroad. new advertising campaigns. action to simplify visa and entry procedures for temporary visitors. and efforts to relax foreign restrictions on travel to the United States. The President acted in anticipation of favorable congressional action on measures authorizing a travel program. Congress would be remiss in its duty if it failed to approve S. 610. which will create jobs for Americans. strengthen the American dollar. and make friends for America.
