However. the world will not judge us kindly if we snuff out the last flame of hope for a better life in Romania. We are not asking a great deal with this legislation. It is merely a 6month suspension of MFN to send the signal to the Romanian Government that the United States is serious in expecting Romania to live up to its part of the bargainnamely. respect for human rights. and most specifically free emigration. It will also send an important message to the people of Romaniathat we are not in lockstep with the present regime. but rather. we believe in basic rights for all people. including the 23 million Romanians whether they are Christians. Jews. ethnic Hungarians or Germans. labor or political activists. or simply the average Romanian who wants the opportunity to live in peace from government harassment.
