I say to you that Romania has repeatedly violated these assurances. It might not be realistic to expect Romania to allow its citizens all of the rights which our citizens enjoy. I did not expect. however. that the level of oppression and the number of emigration barriers would increase with the granting of MFN. Romania has become. since MFN. one of the most repressive governments in Eastern Europeto argue that the Soviet Union. East Germany or even Vietnam are more repressive is not pertinent to this discussion for none of these countries has MFN nor have they pledged to implement the JacksonVanik provisions.
