Speech #1000074693

I can tell the Senate what practical good has come of using JacksonVanik. I can tell the Senate because for 6 years I served as the chairman of the Trade Subcommittee. For 6 years I met with the Romanian Ambassador. For 6 years I presented the Ambassador with names of real human beings who have been let out of Romania. I have been visited in my office by immigrants from Romania. people who have been reunited with their families. who have come to my office to thank me. Why thank me? Because I was the conduit of names and the application of JacksonVanik.
