If the administration refuses to carry out this responsibility. it is the duty of the Congress to put this country on the right path. The essential first step is to insist that the provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act of last year be fully enforced and that the bill before us today be rejected. A moratorium on arms shipments to Turkey must continue until that governments aggressive gains on Cyprus are abandoned. the 200.000 refugees are allowed to return to their homes. the Turkish invasion forces are withdrawn and until negotiations are started in good faith to protect the rights of Cypriot people. Only this solution can boost the power of the democratic forces in both Greece and Turkey. This alone will restore both nations to being full and strong allies of the Westsomething which has long been in their national interest and tradition.-
