Title III of the bill allows the United States to retaliate against countries which unfairly restrict imports or discriminate against U.S. exports. or subsidize their exports to the United States. This new authority should help protect our own industries and open up new markets in such nations as Japan through a more equitable handling of trade matters between nations. Title IV would permit the extension of mostfavorednation status to nonmarket countries on the condition that those nations allow the fundamental. internationally endorsed right to freedom of emigration. I also expect an amendment offered by Representative VANIK. which would also deny the extension of U.S. credits to such nations as the Soviet Union unless they allow free emigration. to be overwhelmingly approved by the House. Together. these provisions should provide tremendous leverage for the United States to help protect oppressed minority groups in Communist nations. Without these provisions and without this bill. the United States could continue to grant credits for international trade to the Soviets without any consideration of their treatment of Soviet Jews.
