I think that is a judgment which should be made by the President. and it should be made at the time of the application of this provision. Otherwise. we are creating truly a new state machine. we are creating a situation from which there is no withdrawal. We are creating. under the provision that was adopted last Friday. or the Friday before last. a totally inexorable process which must lead to the withdrawal of MFN status even if it appears at the time that it will have no positive effect on human rights. even it it appears at the time that it could make the human rights situation. if possible. even worse. even if it appears at the time that less minorities will emigrate from Romania. The whole purpose of this is not to undo what was done 2 weeks ago. but simply to provide for Presidential discretion so that our response to Romania can accomplish some good results rather than forcing our Government pellmell into a situation which can backfire.
