Aimee Weldon forwarded a copy of a fax that Audubon's National Director 
of Bird Conservation sent to the CBBT Commission. It contained the 
following sentence.

The CBBT is increasingly an international destination for people who want 
to enjoy birds.

While it may be advantageous to the cause to point out the economic 
advantage of having birding tourists, I scarcely think including the word 
"international" in the discussion is going to be a strong selling point 
if this entire matter is one of security.
