President. several months ago Congress voted to suspend military assistance to Turkey. and sustained that vote in February of this year. It did so to enforce prohibitions against the clear violation of law in Turkeys use of American supplied arms for aggressive purposesas well as to express our countrys profound dismay over the human tragedy and diplomatic stalemate the use of those arms have produced for the people and nation of Cyprus. As chairman of the Subcommittee on Refugees. I have closely followed events on Cyprus from the beginning. Numerous hearings were held. and in August and September of last year the subcommittee dispatched a study mission to view. firsthand. the human and political tragedy created by the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus.
