I have previously cosponsored legislation to cut off aid to Turkey until the resumption of opium production is halted. Additionally. I have introduced a measure which will permit large scale emigration of Cypriot refugees as an expression of our concern over these griefstricken victims. In light of Turkeys continued aggression and negative responses to world pleas. it is my firm opinion that passage of the amendment now before us is a needed and significant action which will. hopefully. bring about the cessation of hostilities on Cyprus. It has been pointed out that there may even be a serious question of the legality of American military assistance being used by Turkey for purposes other than defense. making it ineligible for further assistance.
