BIELO Executive Director SILENT MAJORITY MUST STAND The decade of the 70's should be one of great progress in advancing far-reaching pro­ grams to preserve our environment—not simply for the sake of conservation, but for the urgent need of mankind to have clean air and water and productive soil. Stronger state and national legislation has been signed into law to protect our environ­ ment for our own benefit. Now what we need are leaders at national, state and local levels that have the courage to implement these laws. Certainly changes won't be effected over­ night, correcting years of air, water and land abuse. But, we should see progress in the environmental cleanup program occur at a rate that exceeds the new levels of damage civilization manages to inflict on the essential elements of our existence. Throughout the coming months I hope to use this column to present some comments on advances in environmental protection and also to point out areas where we may be slid­ ing backward. I plan to do this as I believe that we, the silent majority President Nixon is relying on to support his national and worldwide programs, must also be the underlying strength in environmental protection efforts. As an example we must stand together and speak out clearly, not only as states, but as a nation against the industrial giants whose reaction to pollution cleanup measures occasionally takes the form of threats to close down and leave town.

The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.
