The National Tourism Resources Review Commission was established by the International Travel Promotion Act of October 21, 1970 (84 Stat. 1071), an amendment to the International Travel Act of 1961. The Commission advised on programs of federal assistance for travel promotion and prepared a forecast of the nation's accommodation needs for increased tourism anticipated for the 1970's. The Commission also studied the possibility of establishing an agency to coordinate all federal tourism activities.
The records consist of correspondence, memorandums, reports, personnel actions, and press releases. Primary correspondents include the President, Peter Flanigan, Tod Hullin, Stephen Bull, Ken Clawson, Melvin Laird, and Rose Mary Woods. Topics include funding for the Commission, tourism research and analysis, the presentation of the Commission's report to the President, implementation of its recommendations, and appointments to the Commission. Corresponding oversized attachments have been processed and integrated into the files.
