H. RES. 361
Urging the President to condition discussions about Turkey’s foreign military
finances on resolution of that nation’s hostile occupation of the Republic
of Cyprus.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 4, 1999
Mr. BILIRAKIS (for himself, Mrs. MALONEY of New York, and Mr. MENEN-
DEZ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Com-
mittee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Urging the President to condition discussions about Turkey’s
foreign military finances on resolution of that nation’s
hostile occupation of the Republic of Cyprus.
Whereas for 25 years Turkey has illegally and aggressively
occupied 37 percent of the Republic of Cyprus and dur-
ing that time has continually violated the will of the
United States and the United Nations to cease its illegal
occupation of Cyprus;
Whereas Turkey has been using military weapons and equip-
ment illegally by maintaining a military force of 35,000
troops in an occupied territory;
Whereas it is the position of the Clinton Administration that
a settlement to the Cyprus problem should be based on
• HRES 361 IH
United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1217 and
1250, which both state ‘‘that a Cyprus settlement must
be based on a State of Cyprus with a single sovereignty
and international personality and a single citizenship,
with its independence and territorial integrity safe-
guarded, and comprising two politically equal commu-
nities as described in the relevant Security Council reso-
lutions, in a bi-communal and bi-zonal federation’’;
Whereas Rauf Denktash, the self-proclaimed leader of the so-
called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, has repeat-
edly refused to attend United Nations sponsored talks
with the President of Cyprus, Glafcos Clerides, without
an initial recognition of his breakaway Turkish-Cypriot
state in the Turkish occupied north of the island, which
continues to be recognized only by Turkey;
Whereas Turkey and Mr. Denktash continue to refuse all
international efforts to reach a lasting agreement with
Cyprus; and
Whereas Prime Minister Bu¨lent Ecevit, on his visit with
President Clinton in September 1999, sought forgiveness
of Turkey’s direct and guaranteed loans of the foreign
military finance debt, totaling approximately $3 billion:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should—
(1) condition any discussion of Turkey’s debt
relief or debt refinancing of foreign military finance
direct or guaranteed loans on finding a solution to
the Cyprus problem; and

On reducing the risks and dangers associated with nuclear weapons in the
new millennium.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 9, 1999
Mr. KUCINICH (for himself, Ms. WOOLSEY, Mr. HINCHEY, Ms. BALDWIN, Mr.
OWENS, Mr. MARKEY, Ms. MCKINNEY, Mr. GUTIERREZ, and Mr. JACK-
SON of Illinois) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
On reducing the risks and dangers associated with nuclear
weapons in the new millennium.
Whereas it has been 10 years since the end of the Cold War
and thousands of nuclear weapons still exist and remain
on hair trigger alert postures prolonging the possibility of
accidental nuclear war;
Whereas the United States has failed to fulfill its obligations
toward nuclear disarmament under article IV of the Nu-
clear Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue negotiations in
good faith on effective measures toward nuclear disar-
mament;
Whereas the bilateral measures for nuclear arms control
under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START)
•HRES 369 IH
process have ground to a halt with restrictions by the
Congress for further cuts below START II levels until
the Russian Duma ratifies START II;
Whereas in 1991 President George Bush ordered the United
States to unilaterally withdraw tens of thousands of for-
ward-deployed nuclear tactical weapons and remove thou-
sands more from high alert status and Russian President
Gorbachev reciprocated;
Whereas on August 19, 1999, Russia proposed additional re-
ductions by cutting nearly in half the number of nuclear
warheads that would be allowed under a prospective
START III treaty and the United States failed to agree
to the offer; and
Whereas previous congressional resolutions on furthering
complete nuclear disarmament (such as H. Res. 82) re-
quire the urgent attention of the Congress to adopt such
measures for the prompt reduction of nuclear weapons;
and
Whereas a congressional delegation met with a Duma delega-
tion during the war in Kosovo and successfully promoted
cooperation and built confidence between both countries:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) urges the President to initiate emergency
negotiations with Russia leading to reciprocal reduc-
tions in the strategic and substrategic arsenals in
both countries;
(2) welcomes House Resolution 82 and requests
the support of the Congress to promote measures

bill. Each section of the committee amendment in the nature
of a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order
against the committee amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute for failure to comply with section 306 of the Congres-
sional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. During consideration
of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis
of whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it
to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record des-
ignated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amend-
ments so printed shall be considered as read. The Chairman
of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time
during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole
a request for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) re-
duce to five minutes the minimum time for electronic voting
on any postponed question that follows another electronic
vote without intervening business, provided that the minimum
time for electronic voting on the first in any series of ques-
tions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration
of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report
the bill to the House with such amendments as may have
been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in
the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of
the Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute. The previous question shall be consid-

ered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final
