President. in a recent message to Congress. the President stated foreign travel to the United States represents a large potential market which is virtually untapped. Facts made available by the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee show that Americans spent $1.2 billion more abroad last year than foreign visitors spent in the United States. It Is my hope Congress will pass legislation establishing an Office of International Travel under the Commerce Department which will be designed to promote and advertise America as well as launch a program to relax restrictions on requirements for visas. We must make it attractive and easier for international travelers to come to America. The Senate has acted to implement this program.
