JacksonVanik makes about three points. maybe some more. and I am just speaking extemporaneously but let me conduct a short overview of JacksonVanik. with the understanding that those in the room who are more knowledgeable are free to critique it. First. it says Communist countries do not get MFN status. Second. it says notwithstanding the first provision. a Communist country can get MFN status if it complies with certain standards on emigration. Third. it says even if they do not comply. even if they do not fulfill basic emigration standards. that the President may waive all of thisnot. as some have suggested. that Romania has ever complied with proper emigration standards. We have just waived it. That is all.
