Therefore. I heartily applaud the action taken by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last month. As many of you know. they voted to grant a portion of our aid to Turkey on the condition that Famagusta/Varosha in Cyprus be returned to the Government of Cyprus under the auspices of the United Nations. to begin immediate resettlement of the Greek Cypriot refugees expelled from the town by Turkish troops in 1974. The Turkish Government has been promising to return the town to its Greek inhabitants for several years without following through. so this committee vote may finally result in some concrete action being taken in this regard. It is my sincere hope that the House will also support similar conditions if the foreign aid bill reaches the floor for consideration.
