The contention of this administratioli throughout the crisis and even up until the present has been that a cutoff of aid to Turkey would seriously jeopardize the prospects for peace on Cyprus. Yet despite an agreement between the Congress and the administration giving the administration 60 days to work out an agreement on Cyprus. no substantive progress toward this goal has been recorded. It is therefore time for all of us to realize that a total and immediate cutoff of aid to Turkey is the only vehicle this Nation has left which will convince Turkey to release their stranglehold on Cyprus and allow the quarter of a million refugees to return to their homes and loved ones. The time for words and unfulfilled promises is over. It is time for this Congress to act with decisiveness.
