Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, when I came onto the floor, you were not
presiding; you were on the floor talking about the Visa Waiver Program. It is an agreement we have with almost 40 other nations that allows for
the free flow of visitors from those countries to our country. It is
viewed, in part, as a way to promote tourism and help grow that part of
our economy and the economies of the other 38 or 39 nations with which
we already have this agreement. Some people believe it is a gaping hole
for fomenting terrorism and giving terrorists the ability to infiltrate
our countries and do mischief here and other places around the world.
