I thank the Chair and I thank my friend from West Virginia for the generosity of his yielding the additional time. I will not require it all. I simply want to make clear that the language of this resolution. which has been the subject of concern expressed by my friend from Arkansas. is language which is very careful. simply to ask that a day of remembrance be set aside to mark this tragedy. and the only identification as to responsibility is to state that the Ottoman regimes in power at the time of the First World War were. in fact. the ones responsible for bringing about the deportation and massacre. to quote the language of the Ottoman indictment of Ottoman officials. It is nothing more than that. It does not reflect upon the people of modern day Turkey. as has been claimed on this floo.
