In early February, the Oregon State House unanimously passed House Joint Memorial 1 which urges Congress to ease the visa application process for Chinese visitors to the United States.  Introduced by Rep. Dennis Richardson (R-Central Point), this legislation illustrates the economic impact that improving the visa process would have on the state of Oregon.

We are hoping for similar Resolutions to be introduced and passed in states across the nation so that Congress realizes the need to take action.  If you are interested in replicating this effort in your state, email us at travelcoalition@ustravel.org
