Permitting the situation there to drag on only makes the possibility of a settlement even more remote. Yet. the United States does little to promote a settlement on Cyprus. And it continues to tolerate a situation where U.S. credibility with the Cypriot refugees sinks lower and lower because of the Cypriot Governments perception that U.S. policy tilts toward Turkey. This amendment delivers the message that the Congress will continue to urge upon the administration the evenhanded U.S. approach to the eastern Mediterranean that will be essential to resolve the outstanding problems that persist in the region. It will indicate to Greece that its security is as important to the United States as Turkeys and that we consider Greeces strategic contribution to NATO to be vital.
