Poland does not get MFN. Russia does not get MFN. Albania does not get MFN. and they do not have any emigration quotas pending right now. Romania has an education tax. but like every law that is made in Romania. it is made by declaration. President Ceausescu undeclared the tax. The 1.500 people who are waiting there in Romania for emigration to the United States are not paying any education tax. and our Government has the word of that Government that there will not be an education tax levied upon our emigrants or anybody elses emigrants. So we are getting these problems behind us. We have got to settle these things. though. and get them behind us. Any Member of Congress is free to travel to Romania any time he wants to. He can get a visa from our State Department and go there and see for himself. Many Americans do go there. religious leaders. business leaders. and they come back with varying reports. Based upon all these reports. the President decided that nondiscriminatory tariff treatment should be extended for 1 more year to Romania.
