Mr. Speaker. I would like to conclude my remarks with two quotationsthe first is from Ambassador Morganthau. the United States Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during this time. referring to the Armenians said: When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations. they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race. they understood this well. and. in their conversations with me. they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact. The second quote is from the noted English historian. Arnold Toynbee: The atrociousness of the two great twentieth century wars was aggravated by "genocide" (i.e. the wholesale extermination of civilian populations).
