Bronfman and Mr. Abram would be prepared to suggest incremental responses based on measured progress on the abovementioned points. Under consideration would be support for a change in the Stevenson Amendment. as well as annual waivers of the trade restrictions in the JacksonVanik Amendment. based on very substantial and sustained emigration. Only annual waivers will be considered until the problem of Soviet Jewish emigration has been completely resolved. I would just like to state. Mr. Speaker. as one member of the Ways and Means Committee that I would welcome the day when we could use the JacksonVanik amendment to respond to "substantial and sustained emigration." I also note that the Atlantic Council has just urged mostfavorednation status for the U.S.S.R. without the emigration "linkage" of the JacksonVanik amendment. I disagree. Trade with even our allies is not very popular these days.
