Congress agreed to two delays before imposing the suspension of arms to Turkey. The administration persistently told the Congress. "Give them one more chance." Twice it did. Then. 11 days after the ban became effective. we were advised that a vote for resumption of military aid would encourage the Turks to resolve this tragedy. and open a road to salvation for the many refugees. As a consequence. the Senate accepted this reasoning. and voted to resume aid in anticipation of Secretary Kissingers and President Fords trip to Europe to meet with Turkish and Greek leaders. But the Turkish Government has shown no indication whatsoever of a change in attitude.
