Mr. President. 76 Senators have now joined in cosponsoring the amendment which would deny mostfavorednation tariff treatment and Governmentguaranteed credits to nonmarket countries which deny their citizens the right or opportunity to emigrate. Though the amendment speaks ostensibly of trade and economics. it is in fact the human dimension of inhumane emigration restrictions which motivates those of us who support this legislation. It seems that almost every day we hear another report that needless misery is being inflicted on innocent men and women. The victims may be quite eminent. or they may be just people seeking greater opportunity in another country.
