More than one hundred thousand international students will spend this summer working and traveling in the United States. They are     (1)    in the Summer Work Travel program through the State Department. They receive J-1 exchange visitor visas.

The idea is for students to work for up to three months and     (2)    enough money to then spend a month traveling before they return home.
