President. an important provision of S. 2582 seeks to advance the long and difficult effort by the United States to achieve a just and peaceful settlement on the island nation of Cyprus. The provision has two features. It restores the traditional 7:10 ratio in U.S. military aid to Greece and Turkey and it links Turkeys MAP programthe allgrant component of the $715 million military aid packageto a Presidential certification that the coastal city of Varosha has been returned to the Government of Cyprus under U.N. auspices for the immediate resettlement of Greek Cypriot refugees. This provision was endorsed by the Foreign Relations Committee by a large margin of 12 to 6. I believe it deserves an equally strong endorsement by the entire Senate.
