Bush announces visa waiver for 7 countries
-
President George W. Bush, trying to eliminate a major source of contention with allied nations, has announced the United States is rescinding visa requirements for citizens of six European countries and South Korea. Bush said Friday that Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and South Korea will be added to the U.S. visa waiver program in about a month. All those nations allow U.S. citizens to visit without obtaining visas. He said other countries also are on the path toward getting visa-free treatment. The United States requires that the countries issue tamper-proof biometric passports that are difficult to forge.
SSK. Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

Thanks for the morning news bulletin, but frankly, I prefer to get my news from CNN or Fox. I find the Soapbox on CP to be a bit unreliable and biased...

Maybe he figured that the Soapbox wasn't for offering up opinions anymore based on Ilion's attempt to turn it into a links page for the tinfoil-beanied Christian right.
