Certainly. this motion has my wholehearted support as it directs that all military aid to Turkey be suspended "until the President certifies that substantial progress toward agreement has been made regarding military forces in Cyprus." We have the opportunity now to nullify this provision of the conference agreement and it is my hope that our vote today for the Rosenthal motion will be as resounding as it was 2 weeks ago for the Rosenthal/du Pont amendment. The world is witnessing a tragedy in Cyprus and the United Nations. with the Arab/African bloc dominating its actions. is totally indifferent to the military takeover of more than 40 percent of the island of Cyprus by Turkish armed forces. There are more than 200.000 Greek Cypriot refugees now living in tents. who have been refused permission by the Turkish armed forces from crossing over what has been designated by that aggressor force as the "Attila Line." to return to their homes. Winter is approaching. It is criminal that the Security Council refuses to discuss the matter and vote sanctions against Turkey.
