By reducing the length of time we extend MFN. instead of eliminating MFN. we still can use the stick without losing the carrot. But allowing the Romanian Government to continue to receive preferential treatment in light of their abhorrent human rights record would be sending the wrong signal. I sincerely hope that Ceausescus government will take this opportunity to reverse their bad policies on human rights while adding to their fine record on emigration cases. Instead of increasing emigration levels and addressing certain human rights cases as the time for congressional action approaches. I hope this vote will encourage the Romanian Government to develop a more improved and consistent human rights policy. Mr.
