Free-Spending US Tourist Target in Johnson Plan
The Johnson administration proposed a travel expenditure tax on American tourists abroad above seven dollars a day to bottle up dollar outflow and prune the balance of payments. The plan would tax excess over seven dollars at 15 percent on the first eight dollars and 30 percent on the remainder through October 1, 1969, with 5 percent tax on U.S. air tickets extended to foreign travel and water transport. The measure would not tax travel to or from the United States. The proposal aims to avoid heavy impact on low income travelers such as students visiting relatives abroad with an estimated 45 cent daily tax for such travelers. House leaders signaled reluctance, viewing it as more medicine for a weak economy, though Mills suggested cautious support in principle.
