I do not support lending the prestigious name of the late Senator Jackson to a policy that is only symbolic and merely intended to make an abysmal situation a little more tolerable. Mr. President. emigration numbers are the lowest in the last 3 years. There is minimal change in the numbers of prisoners of conscience. There are no improvements in minority rights.
