Mr. President. as a postscript to the vote yesterday on mostfavorednation status for Communist China. I am amazed at how little was said on the important related subject of emigration procedures by the mainland government. The entire trade agreement is dependent upon our Government granting Communist China a waiver from the restrictions of existing law which prohibits MFN treatment and ExportImport Bank credits for any Socialist country which restricts the rights of its citizens to emigrate freely. President Carter has issued an Executive order waving this law based on assurances which he claims to have received from Chinese officials. The administration even claims to possess a written record of diplomatic exchanges. which supports the Presidents reliance on the mere word given by Communist officials.
