Changes in the former Soviet Union are dramatic as well. The question being debated throughout most of the republics is not whether to implement a program that will lead to a market based economy but what kind of program to implement. Emigration from the Soviet Union is no longer an issue. the real problem is whether or not the West can accommodate those who want to and can afford to leave. The related question of whether we should extend MFN to the individual republics of the former Soviet Union must be addressed. As long as the republics meet the criteria set for granting MFN as a whole. such as compliance with the JacksonVanik amendmerit. then there is no reason that they should not be given MFN.
