IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. ANDREWS (for himself, Mr. BILIRAKIS, Mr. PALLONE, and Mr. RYAN of 
Ohio) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Com-
mittee on International Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the removal of Turkish occupation troops from 
the Republic of Cyprus.
Whereas the United States has shown consistent interest in 
resolving the Cyprus issue and has encouraged every ef-
fort in that direction; 
Whereas the recent signing by the President of the Republic 
of Cyprus of the European Union Accession Treaty on 
April 16, 2003, has opened new avenues for the resolu-
tion of the division of the island; 
Whereas Turkish troops have been in Cyprus ever since the 
illegal occupation of 1974, and the number of occupying 
troops has increased over the last three decades so that 
there are now over 30,000 Turkish troops in the nation,
•HRES 320 IH 
making Cyprus one of the most militarized countries in 
the world; 
Whereas the Greek Cypriots recently implemented a package 
of good faith measures designed to assist their Turkish 
Cypriot compatriots by ensuring that the Turkish Cyp-
riots can enjoy the same rights and privileges enjoyed by 
all other citizens of Cyprus, such as free movement of 
goods, improved healthcare, education, trade, and em-
ployment opportunities; 
Whereas a resolution of the Cyprus issue may materially ad-
vance the chance of Turkey to proceed with its accession 
to the European Union; and 
Whereas the recent opportunity of contact between the Greek 
Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots provided by the open-
ing of crossing points by the occupation authorities has 
demonstrated that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots 
can live in harmony without animosity and within the 
rule of law of the European Union: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) wishing to accelerate the momentum for the 
reunification of the Republic of Cyprus, urges as a 
further step, the immediate withdrawal of the Turk-
ish troops of occupation; 
(2) calls upon the Administration of the United 
States to advocate for the immediate withdrawal of 
Turkish troops from the occupied territories of the 
Republic of Cyprus; and 
(3) expresses its strong support of the recent 
decision by the European Parliament to demand the

Federal officials, and others will celebrate ‘‘America’s 
Night Out Against Crime’’ and participate in events to 
support community crime prevention; 
Whereas National Night Out is supporting the National Child 
Identification Program, a joint partnership between the 
American Football Coaches Association and the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, to provide identification kits to 
parents to help locate missing children; 
Whereas the National Sheriffs Association, the United States 
Conference of Mayors, and the National League of Cities 
have officially expressed support for National Night Out; 
and 
Whereas citizens and communities that participate on August 
5, 2003, will send a positive message to other commu-
nities and the Nation, showing their commitment to re-
duce crime and promote homeland security: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideals of ‘‘National 
Night Out’’; and 
(2) requests that the President—
(A) issue a proclamation calling on the 
people of the United States to conduct appro-
priate ceremonies, activities, and programs to 
demonstrate support for ‘‘National Night Out’’; 
(B) focus appropriate attention on neigh-
