One year ago the island of Cyprus was brutally and illegally invaded by the Turkish Government. In the 12 months since the invasion. Cyprus has been devastated by Turkey and their occupation force. Even 1 full year later we find 40 percent of the island and 70 percent of all industrial and agricultural production controlled by Turkey. Yet even more significant is the fact that there are an estimated 200.000 refugees on the island typifying a deplorable example of human misery and suffering. We have attempted to assist and under an amendment I attached to the Foreign Assistance Act. Cyprus was given $25 million in emergency aid.
