It is not possible to interrupt trade relations for 6 months and then renew trade relations for 6 months. For years. the Soviet Union has been saying to Romania. in effect. "You people are suckers. You are letting people out of your country for no reason. because sooner or later the mostfavorednation status will be withdrawn no matter what you do on emigration." We would be saying. by voting for this amendment. that the Soviet Union is right in the arguments that it has made to Romania. that Romania has been a sucker for letting Jews out of its country. There is no doubt in my mind that the cost of this amendment would be a very severe human cost. It would inflict severe pain on families who now have hope that the process of mostfavorednation review will help them and help their relatives.
