                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
    To designate the week of February 1 through February 7, 1993 as 
                  ``Travel Agent Appreciation Week''.

Whereas travel and tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in 
        the United States, generating more than $350,000,000,000 in 1992;
Whereas over 40,000 travel agencies in the United States perform many vital 
        services that save American consumers and business valuable time and 
        money;
Whereas both business and leisure travelers have come to rely on the travel 
        agent for accurate, professional advice;
Whereas travel agents are an integral part of the travel and tourism industry;
Whereas travel agents generated over $51,000,000,000 in revenue for the airline 
        industry in 1992 alone;
Whereas travel agents are located in all 50 States, and are an important source 
        of jobs from entry level to middle management in almost every town 
        throughout the country; and
Whereas it is fitting to set aside a time to honor and recognize these highly 
        trained travel professionals: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of February 1 
through February 7, 1993 is designated as ``Travel Agent Appreciation 
Week'', and the President is authorized to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the people of the United States to observe this week with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
