Under the program of mostfavorednation status. many Romanian products were shipped to the United States dutyfree. So not only are we running a substantial trade deficit. we are expected to forgo normal import fees. thus contributing even further to our domestic deficit. This would be a wrongheaded policy if we were talking about an allied democracy. but it becomes truly absurd when we allow a Communist dictatorship to take advantage of our trade policies without so much as a hint of a change in its emigration restrictions. The burden of proof should not be upon those of us who oppose mostfavorednation status for Romania. Let those who see some improvement in the plight of the Romanian people stand here before us and show how the situation has been bettered by 10 years of mostfavorednation status.
