I firmly believe that we are more likely to succeed in our foreign policy and human rights objectives by continuing and building on the work already begun by our ambassador. Pete Peterson. a former Member of Congress and a POW. The purpose of the JacksonVanik amendment is to promote free emigration. As of July 13. 4.388 Vietnamese had departed for the United States under the Resettlement Opportunity agreement. Since the JacksonVanik waiver was granted. Vietnam has greatly reduced the red tape for prospective emigrants. Both supporters and opponents must concede that progress is being made in emigration. business development. investment opportunities. and accounting for U.S. military personnel which are of vital interest and concern to America and the families of missing service men and women. This bill will not only end the progress that has been made. but reverse the positive developments that have occurred. It will be a setback for our efforts to account for missing U.S. military personnel and other objectives.
