I did not agree with that. but the Senate has voted to cut off MFN status with Romania. But what we would point out in this amendment is that the objectives in the amendment that we agreed to on Friday are quite clearly set out in page 19952. for anyone who wants to reread them. The objectives of this whole process are quite clearly set out. and the objectives are to improve human rights in Romania and to improve emigration from Romania. Those are the objectives. The amendment that was voted on last Friday was not an amendment to put off MFN status for Romania for the pure joy of cutting off MFN status. The amendment that was agreed to last Friday. but its specific terms. was not an amendment designed to sock it to Romania because we just do not like Romania. Rather. a strategy was in mind. objectives were clearly set out. the priorities of the amendment were to improve situations. to improve the emigration situation. to improve the human rights situation in Romania. Clearly. it was not the intention of the U.S. Senate to cause mischief.
