In practice. the promotional effort was undertaken primarily by the travel industry. An elaborate "Travel United States of America Portfolio"--a rather poor effort. in my judgmentwas compiled by the National Association of Travel Organizations and distributed abroad in eight languages. The Immigration and Naturalization Service contributed to the effort by designating some 90 young. blueuniformed. multilingual female receptionists to act as "Welcome to America" staffs at major ports of entry. The Treasury waived the requirement for certification of compliance with tax laws for departing tourists who had spent less than 60 days in the United States. "Visit United States of America" committees were organized abroad by American embassies and consulates with the aid of travel agencies and the U.S. Information Service.
