Mr. Chairman. the administrations handling of the Cyprus question is just one more sorry example of a foreign policy that has long since been recognized throughout the world as a colossal debacle for the United States. To cite only the recent major blunders in foreign relations and defense policy under President Carterthe ineffective response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. the most flagrant example of Soviet imperialism in many years. the offagain. onagain. embarrassing handling of the seizure of our diplomats in Iran as hostages. the complete standstill of the middle east negotiations which President Carter initiated with such fanfare. the disgraceful deterioration of our defense capabilities. accelerated by President Carters opposition to weapons system we must have to restore our defense strength. and finally the complete mismanagement of the Cuban refugee situation. another example of the Presidents vacillation which is the cause of such confusion among our allies and our own people as to what our policy is on any issue.*
