france, england, italy, yugoslavia -- not yugoslavia, again, i made the mistake, it's turkey and japan and india and so many other countries, kosovo. they're all advertising, all pushing for international tourism to come to their country because they know it creates jobs, and, more important, they understand when you go there, you leave those countries with good impression. boy, i think if ever there was a time when we need people to come to this country and leave with an understanding of the culture and the character of this great country and at the same time create jobs in this country by buying gas, buy hotel rooms, buying airplane seats and doin doing -- and going to the tourist attractions and understanding about america, it is now. so my hope is in the next day or so we might be able to find a way to bring those who voted against cloture to understand we've said, you know what? want to offer amendments? offer amendments. there is no obstruction. a colleague came to the floor and said, i'm voting against cloture because i was obstructed from offering my amendment and that was a co
