President Reagan has stated that "it is time to see a fair settlement that will benefit and serve all of the Cypriot people" and that funding "a just fair and lasting resolution" for Cyprus will remain a priority for his administration. I cannot agree with him more. The United States can do much to see that tension is reduced and stability returned. We must use our influence to persuade Turkey. in particular. to cooperate in the peacemaking process. The return of Cypriot refugees to the Famagusta region and the submission of specific territorial proposals by the Turkish side can open the way for a visible solution. one that restores Cypruss independence and territorial integrity. Allowing the situation to fester bodes well for nobody.*
