Mr. President. as a founding member of the Helsinki Commission. I have followed the human rights situation in Romania for many years. Romania has taken some positive steps. They have made a concerted effort to fulfill the freedom of emigration requirements of the JacksonVanik amendment. However. there is room for improvement. For example. there is the case of the Fodor family. For the last 4 years. Georgeta Fodor and her son. Stefan. have been denied permission to leave and join Georgetas husband and Stefans father. Napoleon Fodor. in the United States. Romania has also made some efforts with respect to religious rights.
