The administration strongly opposes House Joint Resolution 502 and the President will veto it if it reaches his desk. MFN status was first granted to China on February 1. 1980. Each year since then. the President has reviewed that countrys immigration performance as required under the JacksonVanik statute. This year. as he has every year since 1980. the President determined that Chinese officials substantially follow the practice of allowing persons who want to immigrate to do so. Rather than focusing on immigration problems. and. I repeat. the one and only condition of MFN specified by JacksonVanik. the proponents of removing MFN are wandering far afield into seductive. extraneous issues. Yes. we all share their goals.
