Hungary has been granted MFN treatment on an annual basis under the JacksonVanik waiver process since 1978. During that time. the Committee on Ways and Means has not received a single complaint about Hungarys record on emigration. The President himself has indicated in a recent message to Congress that "Hungary has continued to take a positive and constructive approach to emigration matters." Mr. Speaker. I had the privilege of leading a delegation of members of the Committee on Ways and Means to Hungary earlier this year.
