From 1963 to 1967 the organizers ran the Miss American Beauty section two days before the Miss International finals.^{[citation needed]} After 1967 the USA representatives were selected by other methods. For example, in 1968 Miss Welcome to Long Beach was sent to Japan as Miss American Beauty (Since 1987 as Miss USA).^{[citation needed]}
