BICAM PANEL MEETS ON TOURISM BILL: Independent Senator Richard J. Gordon, chairman of the Senate tourism committee and head of the Senate contingent, meets with the members of the House panel to iron out the conflicting provisions of their proposed national tourism bill which seeks to declare a national policy for tourism as an engine of investment, employment, growth and national development. The bill Gordon authored also seeks the establishment of "tourism enterprise zones" in the country aimed at enticing foreign investors and tourists to visit places rich with history and culture.
