Finally after long months of compromise and concession we were able to cut off this aid effective February 5. which marked a historic day for this Congress and for the struggle for peace on Cyprus. We have also been committed to the rebuilding of Cyprus. Congress overwhelmingly adopted my amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act which provided $25 million in emergency relief aid to Cyprus. This money will be used to provide food and shelter for the quarter of a million refugees on the island. and will also help to rebuild the ravaged Cypriot economy.
