Iran Crisis—Hughes:

American Patience Worn Thin

WASHINGTON — The promotion of foreign travel to the United Stales would boost New Jersey's tourist business to $20billion a year by 1990 with employment for half a million residents of the state, ac-

cording to Hep Matthew.I Rinaldo

The Union County*Congressman said on Apr. 17 he will sponsor legislation to create a national tourism policy council to consolidate travel and tourism programs now scattered among 100 federal offices. The council he envisions would coordinate policies with, the Department Of Energv. the Treasury. Commerce and State Departments, and other federal agencies

to attract more foreign visitors.

HE SAID IT WOLT.I) strengthen the dollar and help the U.S. pay for oil imports, pointing out that last year travel and tourism accounted for more than $4 billion In business and government tax revenues In New Jersey. More than 150.000 persons in the state are directly involved in the

travel and tourists industry, he said

While no current estimates arc available on the number of foreign visitors to New Jersey. Mr. Rinaldo said in 1976 New Jersey was visited by 236.000 tourists,

most of whom came from Canada

With the advent of casino gambling, the opening of Great Adventure, and various music and arts festivals in the slate, he predicted that it would increase dramatically during this decade and pump about $3 billion io tax revenues alone into

state government In 1990

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN also cautioned against cutting gasoline allocations to the tourist industry or raising taxes on gasoline since, he said. It would have an adverse impact on the U S. balance of payments and New Jersey's

economy.

"The chronic imbalance of payments deficit in foreign travel has grown from $1.3 billion in 1960 to $3 billion, which is the difference between what Americans spend abroad and what we earn here from foreign visitors." he commented "Before strangling the U.S tourist in-

"dustry with gas rationing, higher fuel taxes, and more regulations, the public and Congress should understand its

economi^signlficance." he continued "The travel and tourism industry

contributes more than $115 billiorfannually

to our economy and employs proximately six million persons " THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION, he

charged, has failed to comprehend the potential of foreign tourism Mr Rinaldo criticized the White House budget makers for eliminating $8 million in the I960 federal budget for the U.S Travel Service.
