•HCON 397 IH
billion in tax revenue for Federal, State, and local gov-

Whereas the slowing of the United States economy and the

had a tremendous negative effect on the tourism indus-
try;

tacks;
Whereas the Department of Commerce has issued prelimi-
nary figures indicating that international travel to the
United States decreased 11 percent between 2000 and
2001, resulting in a 45-percent decrease in the travel
trade surplus (from $14 billion to $7.7 billion), and that
it may take 3 years for international travel to return to
the 2000 level;
Whereas decreased spending in 2001 caused the travel and
tourism industry to lose an estimated 600,000 jobs, and
resulted in an estimated 3-percent decrease in tax reve-
nues from the industry;
Whereas National Tourism Week was established by Con-
gress in 1983, and first celebrated in May 1984, when
President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential proclama-
tion urging citizens to observe the week with appropriate
ceremonies and activities;

mation calling upon the people of the United States

der, or race, and only 4 percent of patients survive be-
yond 5 years;

professional education, and advocacy for pancreatic can-
cer research funding, with a view to ultimately developing 
a cure for pancreatic cancer; 
Whereas the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will promote 
pancreatic cancer awareness during the month of Novem-
ber in order to educate communities across the Nation 
about pancreatic cancer and the need for research fund-
ing, early detection methods, effective treatments, and 
prevention programs; and 
Whereas the observance of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness 
Month during November 2002, would increase awareness
