The Congress. for its part. has made clear the need for U.S. policy to focus on a settlement of the Cyprus problem. The 7to10 ratio has served us well as a vehicle for demonstrating the limits to which United StatesTurkish military cooperation can expand In the absence of progress on Cyprus. The committee actions this year stand in contrast to last years actions when the committee voted to condition the grant MAP portion of military assistance to Turkey on the return by the Turkish Cypriots of Famagusta/Varosha to the Greek Cypriots for the purposes of refugee resettlement under U.N. auspices. However. my amendment this year should not be interpreted as a lack of resolve to take any and all steps necessary to promote a peaceful settlement of the Cyprus dispute. It was instead a sign of support for the recent goodfaith efforts of the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots to bring about the U.S.-sponsored proximity talks between President Kyprianou and Rauf Denktash.
