I WONDER WHETHER ANY THOUGHT HAS BEEN GIVEN IN THE CLINTON

TEAM TO HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVES NOT LINKED TO MFN. I RECALL THAT SOME MONTHS AGO SENATOR BAUCUS, SUPPORTED I THINK BY SOLARZ, WAS PROMOTING A US-CHINA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. I AM NOT SURE HOW

FAR THAT HAS GOT. BUT FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW THAT SORT OF DIFFERENTIATION IS TO BE ENCOURAGED.
