Mr. President. I support the United StatesRomanian trade agreement which I believe will be an important step toward improving economic relations between our two countries. I am pleased with the progress that has been made in the area of emigration from Romania and I am encouraged by the reported increase in emigrants from that country during the past few weeks. Indications are that over 1.000 exit permits were approved during June. I am sure that my colleagues in the Senate share my concern that these important signs of flexibility be reflected in actual departures in the near future. I am hopeful that the Romanian Government will make a good faith effort to continue these encouraging trends in the months ahead in order to allow the Congress. at the expiration of the present agreement next year. to approve an extension of mostfavorednation treatment.
