The other day the Wall Street Journal did an editorial about this issue where they said: On Romania there is no reason why President Reagan should continue to leave the high road on this issue to Congress. He has the right under existing law to suspend Romanias mostfavorednation status. as he had the right to act on Polands trade status. He does not have to wait for the trade bill to reach him. Indeed. the President can follow his own precedent of 1983. when he stared down Mr. Ceausescu over Romanian plans to impose an "education tax" on emigrants. Mr. Speaker. where is the Reagan administration when the House has acted and the Senate has acted. and the overwhelming public opinion and world opinion is to suspend MFN?
