This bill would grant mostfavorednation status to these countries on an unconditional basis. Why do we now favor Czechoslovakia and Hungary? Because their people have paid the price to end communism and its discredRted central planning. started democratic policies and free trade. and allowed free emigration across their borders. The process has started and must be encouraged to never stop. The illegitimate Communist governments of Hungary and Czechoslovakia were originally found guilty of violating emigration requirements of title IV of the Trade Act of 1974. The Iron Curtain was more than a metaphor to people who wanted to leave these countries. it was a real barrier fortified with steel bullets. Now Hungarians and Czechoslovakians have taken back their countries through peaceful means and have dedicated themselves to an open society and economy.
