In addition. as a NATO ally it is once again providing the free world with critical warning and communications facilities as well as bases and ports for our mutual defense. The past 6 years of stalemate in seeking to solve the crisis on Cyprus has been underlined by concern about Americas willingness to promote an evenhanded approach. Our lack of credibility among all parties. including Cypriot refugees. has rendered the United States little influence. Such action as promoted by this amendment will demonstrate that the United States supports a balanced approach to the entire region and. in turn. to Cyprus itself. I urge my colleagues to join me in full support of the Broomfield amendment which hopefully will help to bring our two nations closer together and will become another step toward a resolution of the Cyprus conflict.
