I would be delighted to hold hearings on it and further examine the possibilities and listen to witnesses who are concerned about it. as well as the two Senators. The Presidents statement says that some positive steps have been taken. It says that more than 170.000 Romanians have been allowed to emigrate to the United States since JacksonVanik was put into effectto the United States. Israel. and West Germany. that over 15.000 Romanians emigrated in 1986 alone. The Jewish emigrants from Romania to Israel in 1986 numbered almost 1.300. I think it is important to know that most major American Jewish organizations have come out in opposition to this amendment. I think a telling point they make is that the continuation of mostfavorednation status for Romania. subject to the yearly review provided by JacksonVanik. is the best means available to assure positive changes in Romania.
