Mr. President. I rise today to bring to the attention of this legislative body an abhorrent situation which has been in existence for 7 years. namely. the divis.on of the island oi Cyprus. which has resulted in the dislocation of 200.000 refugees. onethird of the population of that suffering island. President Reagan earlier this year called for a "just and lasting resolution to the problem of Cyprus" which. he said. would "remain a priority of his administration." The President called for a "fair settlement" of the problems of the island which would "benefit and serve all of the Cypriot people." I would like to join with President Reagan in urging a resolution of this problem. July 20 will mark the seventh anniversary of this division of Cyprus. a situation which grieves our NATO allies.
