We applaud Congress for expanding the Visa Waiver program, but for those travelers requiring a visa, the system needs to be more efficient and easier to navigate.

We want you to visit.

We cannot afford to lose one airplane, one passenger, one pilot without looking at how we can do it better.

The one thing we do need to get rid of in this industry is the statement, well, it's legal, the FAA says it's legal, therefore it must be safe.

I think this panel demonstrates the breadth of the issues one has to consider.

It creates an Office of Travel Promotion, with the Department of Commerce to serve as a liaison.

This just isn't one of them, this issue of trying to get our share of international tourism.

But as I said earlier, we're going to hold a hearing on safety, I want to do that very soon, which will include some of these issues.

Now we can decide to be disarmed, and we can be in a competition in which we are not competing.

I have that kind of confidence.

I think it is disgraceful, four of eight years.

That is just a tragic failure.
