Chairman. I wish to thank my colleague DIcK SCHULZE for introducing House Resolution 317. a resolution disapproving the continuation of "Most Favored Nation" status benefits for Romania. It is important for the United States to be more discerning about granting countries special trade privileges. especially countries that have restrictive emigration policies. The present administration has recommended extending the waiver authority under the Trade Act of 1974. with respect to Romania. a country which has extremely restrictive emigration policies and a very poor record of human rights. For that reason. I think the Members should support Congressman SCHULZEs resolution to disapprove extending the waiver authority to Romania.
