                CONGRESSIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM CAUCUS

                                 ______


                             HON. TOBY ROTH

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 1995

  Mr. ROTH. Mr. Speaker, as the chairman of the largest caucus on the 
Hill, the Congressional Travel and Tourism Caucus, allow me to 
highlight how important the month of October is to the travel and 
tourism industry.
  On October 30 and 31, we will convene the first-ever White House 
Conference on Tourism. Of course, the caucus is planning a number of 
special events to coincide with the White House Conference.
  I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the 
caucus, and, in particular, Vice Chairman Jim Oberstar and Secretary 
Barbara Vucanovich for their leadership.
  In addition, I urge my colleagues who are not members of the caucus 
to join us. There are no dues or fees.
  I cannot overemphasize the importance of this industry to our 
economic future. Travel and tourism is the second largest employer in 
the Nation. And it pumps $417 billion into the economy every year. That 
is why this caucus is so large.
  Following is our latest list of caucus members. If your name is not 
listed, I hope you will call my office and join us.
