I think we can be reasonably confident that the President would only use his authority when there was a compelling case for a waiver. and we would not have to fear that it was used either frivolously or gratuitously. Consequently. Mr. Chairman. this amendment would enable us to resond to the felt military and economic needs of Pakistan. and it would help us to strengthen a frontline state facing 85.000 troops on its Afghan border. with 2 million Afghan refugees within the country. while at the same time significantly strengthening our nonproliferation objectives not only on the subcontinent but throughout the rest of the world.
