The purpose of this amendment is to establish within the executive branch an interagency board to coordinate and oversee the orderly development of trade with nonmarket countries. Mr. President. during the past 20 months. considerable attention has been paid to the question of what conditions. if any. should be attached to trade concessions to Communist countries. especially conditions which relate to the freedom of emigration. The debate on emigration which has ensued these past months has been productive. and I am gratified that the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of the various interested parties. At the same time. however. I am concerned that too little of our attention has been focused on the serious problems involved when a market economy undertakes to do business with a nonmarket economy.
