The newly established mechanism demands that the United States demonstrate good faith by conscientiously examining its own implementation record when challenged by other CSCE participants and responding in a timely manner. It is my belief that an appropriate response would be radical revision of the McCarranWalter Act. For years now the United States has answered recurring criticism of its visa laws by insisting that Congress is considering changes to the law. That tired response is quickly losing all credibility. given the long years of its use. It is time for the administration to give serious consideration to working with Congress in carrying out this important legislative reform.
