I have discussed this amendment with the managers and I hope that they will be willing to accept it. I am pleased to offer it on behalf of my distinguished colleague from Arizona and myself. It condemns Bulgarias treatment of its ethnic Turkish minority and calls on the Bulgarian authorities to cease immediately the shameful persecution and deportation of these Bulgarian citizens. Further. it authorizes $10 million in funds for fiscal year 1990 for the assistance of ethnic Turks who have fled Bulgaria and are resettling in the sovereign territory of Turkey. I have spoken before on this issue here on the Senate floor.
