This legislation is an effort to work within the framework of JacksonVanik to make it a more positiveand more effectivepolicy instrument. Indeed. this amendment to JacksonVanik is drawn from existing wording already in the law. It represents a finetuning of the law that will maximize American trade opportunities without jeopardizing our human rights stand and enhance the ability of the United States to influence more liberalized emigration policies in other nations. I stated in my testimony last week in Senate hearings on the bill that we will gain far greater leverage and more certainly achieve the objectives of the JacksonVanik provision by making the changes proposed in the bill. Not everyone fully recognizes the need for this legislation.
