This measure is critically important. because for the first time our country will have an agency to encourage travel in the United States. as well as travel abroad. Certainly there is no better form of mutual aid than travel. and. in the second place. it is also very important because it makes for a more open worldsomething which all of us very greatly desire. Of course much remains to be donefor instance. the cutting of the large amounts of redtape which still exist in connection with customs. visas. and so forth. But the accomplishment of this much. by means of this measure. is to be greatly cheered. The President of the United States. who made much of this matter in his messages to the Congress. is entitled to credit for helping bring this measure into being. and I want the President to receive that credit.
