During my tensure as cochairman of the Senate Tourism Caucus. I have worked with all Senators in support of proposals to promote both foreign and domestic travel to and in the United States. The imposition of an immigration fee. whether it be mandatory. as proposed in the original immigration bill 2 years ago. or discretionary. as proposed in this bill. stands in the face of every effort and achievement of the Senator from Virginia in this area. I urge support for the amendment by the Senator from Montana and myself. and the elimination of all references to immigration fees from the pending legislation. I yield the floor.
