Plain-English summary
Urges the Secretary of State, in deciding whether to renew the ban on the use of U.S. passports for travel to Lebanon, to: (1) expand the present humanitarian waiver provisions to permit American citizens of Lebanese descent to travel to Lebanon for family reunification purposes; (2) create a new waiver category for U.S. business personnel who wish to travel there on business; (3) change the Lebanon travel ban to a travel advisory; and (4) identify those conditions within Lebanon that are of risk to U.S. citizens and provide suggestions for Lebanon to ameliorate those risks.
