HELP AMERICAN WORKERS AND AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESS--JOIN THE TRAVEL AND 
                             TOURIST CAUCUS

  (Mr. ROTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTH. Mr. Speaker, we heard many speeches yesterday, and we will 
hear more today, good speeches on reconciliation. I just want to 
address one question of the aftermath of a less-government role. I 
think we have to allow private enterprise some elbow room, and we are 
going to have the opportunity to do that on Monday and Tuesday. We have 
for the first time ever the most important conference in this decade in 
this city, the Travel and Tourist Conference. Travel and tourism is the 
second largest industry in America. They need less taxes, they need 
less regulation, so we can give our people jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a conference for American workers, American 
small business, Main Street America. Travel and tourism is becoming the 
real economic power right here in America and all over the globe, as 
the futurists tell us. Now Congress can be involved in this small 
business enterprise, in this travel and tourism. We have the travel and 
tourist caucus.
  Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Gillmor] is our 300th 
member, and I salute him for joining the travel and tourist caucus. We 
now have 304 members, and I ask all the Members in Congress to join the 
travel and tourist caucus. Let us do something positive for American 
workers and American small business. Please call my office, join the 
caucus. Let us do something for American workers.
