Mr. Speaker. today I reintroduced a bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act in order to facilitate the entry of foreign tourists into the United States. The latest estimates indicated that in 1970. Americans traveling abroad spent about $2 billion more than foreign tourists spent here. An estimated 22 million Americans traveled abroad in 1970. an increase from 20.100.000 in 1969. and 18 million in 1968. In contrast. approximately 13 million tourists came here In 1970 from all over the world. 12.370.000 came in 1969. and 10.885.000 in 1968. In other words. while 4 million more Americans have gone traveling abroad. foreigners coming here have increased by less than 3 million.
