Speech #970227683

Mr. Speaker. I oppose House Resolution 521. a resolution disapproving the Presidents recommendation that the waiver of emigration requirements under the Trade Act of 1974 be extended for 1 more year with respect to Romania. Failure to renew the waiver would mean that Romania will lose its mostfavorednation status with the United States and will again be subject to the very high rates of duty applied to the Soviet Union and other column2 countries. The trade agreement extending MFN status to Romania has been in effect since the fall of 1975 and has served as the basis for a growing commercial and political relationship between our two countries.
