Here is a religion that opposes tuition tax credits for private schools because they regard it as an undue connection between government and religion. It is no wonder that they are a hair shirt to the Romanian Government which thinks it should poke its nose in everything and limiting everything and repressing everything. and indeed they do. But the question we should address ourselves to is do we want to change the fundamental purpose of the JacksonVanik amendment and say that in addition to offering it or withholding it. depending upon whether you are generous or not generous with emigration. we shall also say we will withhold it or extend it. depending upon how you view religious liberty. That is a fair question. If we want to start doing that. there are countries as repressive as RomaniaChina certainly is in terms of religious freedom. and we extend the mostfavorednation clause to them. In terms of emigration. Chou Enlai has one of the classicyou hate to say humorousrealistic comments. When the issue was brought up to Chou Enlai almost a decade ago when he was asked about emigration. he said: "Certainly. How many millions do you want?" So long as countries will say to their citizensand I emphasize again Romania is better than almost any other country. certainly the best in Eastern Europe. they do not let everybody out. None of the Eastern European countries do.
