Mr. President. that the Congress and the American people have once again been misled regarding our foreign military assistance program. Despite assurances given in Ankara to the Refugee Subcommittees study mission that there was no change in the rate of delivery of U.S. military hardware to Turkey during. or subsequent to. Turkeys invasion of Cyprusand contrary to the clear signals from Congress against more aid to Turkey at this time. and the prohibitions of lawwe learn today that the administration has actually escalated military aid to Turkey. despite the lack of progress in negotiations. According to the Department of States figures. over $40.000.000 in military hardware was shipped to Turkey in the first quarterJuly to Septemberof this fiscal year.
