United StatesAzorean trade has existed since colonial times. and the strategic location of the Azores provides our military with a key refueling point on the way to Europe and the Middle East. The presence of a U.S. military base there since 1944 Is evidence of this fact. Furthermore. the hundreds of thousands of Azorean immigrants to this country have always displayed a passion for hard work and family values. There is no doubt in my mind that our Nation has benefited tremendously from the Azorean people. Yet. it now appears that this Congress may cut United States aid to Portugal and. in the process. damage a friendly relationship which has existed for over 250 years.
