The bill I am introducing now gives the administration the legislative flexibility it needs and wants to grant mostfavorednation trade status to Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. The Trade Act of 1974 placed these states in the rate of duty column 2. specifically excluding them from receiving favorable tariff rates. Title IV of the Trade Act requires all states that did not have MFN in 1974. to fulfill emigration law criteria. It is. indeed. unfortunate that these obstacles stand in the way of the swift provision of MFN to Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania through the renegotiation of agreements these nations signed with the United States in 1925 and 1926.
