Senator EAGLETON sponsored an amendment to the foreign aid bill to stop military assistance and sales to Turkey. An embargo of U.S. arms sales to Turkey became effective in February 1975. as a result of Senator EAGLETONS persistent support. Later that same year. Senator EAGLETON visited both Greece and Cyprus. accompanied by Mr. Nakis. and witnessed first hand the suffering of refugees. Since that time. he has continued to act as a national spokesman for GreekAmericans on this important l3sue. I would also like to commend Senator EAGLETON for his efforts in obtaining Federal assistance for the AHEPA 53 apartments for elderly Americans.
