If we want to change and say while the original purpose of the JacksonVanik amendment was to encourage Communist countries to let people outand Lord knows it has workedwe were aiming it principally at Russia and we were aiming it principally at Jewish emigration out of Russia. and it has worked. The Russians are now letting great numbers of Jewish citizens emigrate out of Russia. But if we want to condition it on further factors. be that trade. or be that weapons proliferation. or be that human rights. that is a fair debate. But if we are going to say unless a country sort of has our Constitution. our Bill of Rights. they are going to be denied this mostfavorednation status. then let us look at the consequences.
