It seems to me that this is the role of the Executive. that the Executive should have discretion to make fundamental choices as to when pressure is useful and when it is not useful. To remove that possibility from the Executive I think is in fact doomsday. I think that is a rigid. automatic response and that it is going to cause people harm from the standpoint of human rights and emigration. I think that the issue before us is not whether Romania is a good place or a bad place. but I think the issue before us is whether what we are doing has the possibility of making things better or worse. I believe that what we are doing has the possibility of making things even worse than they are now. and that if we remove the kind of flexibility that the President should have in the conduct of foreign policy and trade policy. then in point of fact things will get worse. not better.
