The distinguished Senator from Wyoming made the point that extending mostfavorednation treatment to a totalitarian regime was hardly something we would view with any satisfaction. And yet I think I can speak for the judgment of our late and revered colleague. Senator Jackson. that that was the outcome he did hope for in offering this particular economic concession. the mostfavorednation treatment. which is to take nations who are now under the 1930 tariff schedules. if they allowed free emigration and some such like matters. If the policy succeeded. we would have the mostfavorednation treatment with the Soviet Union. I think that was the logic of his amendment. was it not?
