I do believe that the substance of Division B is a solid. thoughtful product. and the result of bipartisan cooperation. In it. we fund most of our programs at or near the administrations request. but in some cases we shift some priorities in an effort to ensure that American foreign policy reflects American values. On a few items of compelling importance. such as refugee protection. the World Food Program. assistance to torture victims. and combating international child labor. the bill provides modest increases over and above the administration request. I fully support the language encouraging the United States Government to press the Turkish Government to permit true freedom of religion. Of premier concern is the continued closure of the Halki Theological School. which is a clear violation of international treaties to which Turkey has been a signatory. including but not limited to the Helsinki Final Act. the Treaty of Lausanne. the 1968 Protocol. and the Charter of Paris.
