The United States has withdrawn a proposed December deadline for implementing new rules that would require Americans to show passports when returning from the Caribbean. Caribbean tourism officials had complained that the measures would hurt the vital industry. Similar rules were also proposed for Canada, Mexico and Bermuda, and Caribbean officials also complained that Mexico and Canada would have gain an edge because Americans returning from those countries would not have to show passports until Dec. 31, 2006.
Americans have needed only birth certificates or driver's licenses for travel to and from the countries. The U.S. government had set a tentative Dec. 31 deadline for the Caribbean, but is now reconsidering the date, according to the State Department.
