At the full committee meeting I questioned the wisdom of the Department of State In objecting to this resolution because It might damage our sensitive relations with Turkey. I feel that this is a specious argument. And If you look at the number of Holocausttype resolutions that we have taken to the floor by unanimous consent. there was a clear danger here of opening ourselves up to accusations of discrimination in deciding what is a problem and what is not. Just 2 weeks ago. unanimous consent was granted for a resolution condemning the Russians for actions with regard to Jewish immigration from that country. And here we have a much different case. The genocide resolution does not condemn the Government of Turkey.
