SEC. 210. SENSE OF SENATE WITH RESPECT TO PRO-
MOTING TRAVEL AND TOURISM. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress
finds that—
HR 2670 EAS
(1) an effective public-private partnership of
Federal, State, and local governments and the travel
and tourism industry can successfully market the
United States as the premiere international tourist
destination in the world;
(2) the private sector, States, and cities currently
spend more than $1,000,000,000 annually to promote
particular destinations within the United States to
international visitors;
(3) other nations are spending hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars annually to promote the visits of
international tourists to their countries, and the
United States will miss a major marketing oppor-
tunity if it fails to aggressively compete for an in-
creased share of international tourism expenditures as
they continue to increase over the next decade;
(4) a well-funded, well-coordinated international
marketing effort, combined with additional public
and private sector efforts, would help small and large
businesses, as well as State and local governments,
share in the anticipated growth of the international
travel and tourism market in the 21st century; and
(5) a long-term marketing effort should be sup-
ported to promote increased travel to the United
States for the benefit of every sector of the economy.
HR 2670 EAS
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that Congress should enact this year, with adequate
funding from available resources, legislation that would
support international promotional activities by the United
States National Tourism Organization to help brand, posi-
tion, and promote the United States as the premiere travel
and tourism destination in the world.
SEC. 211. STUDY OF A GENERAL ELECTRONIC EXTEN-
SION PROGRAM. Not later than 6 months after the enact-
ment of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce shall report
to Congress on possible benefits from a general electronic
commerce extension program to help small businesses, not
limited to manufacturers, in all parts of the Nation identify
and adopt electronic commerce technology and techniques,
so that such businesses can fully participate in electronic
commerce. Such a general extension service would be analo-
gous to the Manufacturing Extension Program managed by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and
the Cooperative Extension Service managed by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The report shall address, at a min-
imum, the following—
(1) the need for or opportunity presented by such
a program;
(2) some of the specific services that such a pro-
gram should provide and to whom;
HR 2670 EAS
(3) how such a program would serve firms in
rural or isolated areas;
(4) how such a program should be established,
organized, and managed;
(5) the estimated costs of such a program; and
(6) the potential benefits of such a program to
both small businesses and the economy as a whole.
SEC. 212. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE
EUROPEAN
COUNCIL
NOISE
RULE
AFFECTING
HUSHKITTED AND REENGINED AIRCRAFT. (a) FINDINGS.—
The Senate finds that—
(1) for more than 50 years, the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been the sin-
gle entity vested with the authority to establish inter-
national noise and emissions standards; through
ICAO’s efforts, aircraft noise has decreased by an av-
erage of 40 percent since 1970;
(2) ICAO is currently working on an expedited
basis on even more stringent international noise
standards, taking into account economic reasonable-
ness, technical feasibility and environmental benefits;
(3) international noise and emissions standards
are critical to maintaining United States aero-
nautical industries’ economic viability and to obtain-
HR 2670 EAS
ing their ongoing commitment to progressively more
stringent noise reduction efforts;
(4) European Council (EC) Regulation No. 925/
1999, banning certain aircraft meeting the highest
internationally recognized noise standards from fly-
ing in Europe, undermines the integrity of the ICAO
process and undercuts the likelihood that new Stage
4 standards can be developed;
(5) while no regional standard is acceptable, this
regulation is particularly offensive; there is no sci-
entific basis for the regulation and it has been care-
fully crafted to protect European aviation interests
while imposing arbitrary, substantial and unfounded
cost burdens on United States aeronautical industries;
(6) the vast majority of aircraft that will be af-
fected by EC Regulation No. 925/1999 are operated
by United States flag carriers; and
(7) the implementation of EC Regulation No.
925/1999 will result in a loss of jobs in the United
States and may cost the United States aviation in-
dustry in excess of $2,000,000,000.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that—
(1) EC Regulation No. 925/1999 should be re-
scinded by the EC at the earliest possible time;
HR 2670 EAS
(2) that if this is not done, the Department of
State should file a petition regarding EC Regulation
No. 925/1999 with ICAO pursuant to Article 84 of the
Chicago Convention; and
(3) the Departments of Commerce and Transpor-
tation and the United States Trade Representative
should use all reasonable means available to them to
ensure that the goal of having the rule repealed is
achieved.

merce and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000’’.
