Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Office of

Whereas individuals under the civil service disability retire-

employment after their careers are interrupted by severe

Whereas the former Federal policy favoring the rehiring of

fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

Office of Personnel Management should identify those in-
dividuals under the disability retirement provisions of title
5, United States Code, who could benefit from vocational

Whereas on January 5, 1995, President Clinton appointed a
Special Presidential Emissary for Cyprus;
Whereas the United Nations has adopted numerous resolu-
tions that set forth the basis of a solution for the dispute
regarding Cyprus;
Whereas paragraph (2) of United Nations Security Council
Resolution 939 of July 29, 1994, reaffirms that a solu-
tion 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
safeguarded, and comprising two politically equal commu-
nities in a bizonal and bicommunal federation, and that
such a settlement must exclude union in whole or in part
with any other country or any form of partition or seces-
sion;
Whereas the United Nations Secretary General has described
the occupied part of Cyprus as one of the most highly
militarized areas in the world;
Whereas the continued overwhelming presence of more than
30,000 Turkish troops on Cyprus hampers the search
for a freely negotiated solution to the dispute regarding
Cyprus;
Whereas the United Nations and the United States have
called for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from the
territory of the Republic of Cyprus; and
Whereas comprehensive plans for the demilitarization of the
Republic of Cyprus have been proposed: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
•HCON 42 IH
(1) reaffirms that the status quo on Cyprus is
unacceptable;
(2) welcomes the appointment of a Special
Presidential Emissary for Cyprus;
(3) expresses its continued strong support for
efforts by the United Nations Secretary General and
the United States Government to help resolve the
Cyprus problem in a just and viable manner at the
earliest possible time;
(4) insists that all parties to the dispute regard-
ing Cyprus agree to seek a solution based upon the
relevant United Nations resolutions, including para-
graph (2) of United Nations Security Council Reso-
lution 939 of July 29, 1994;
(5) reaffirms the position that all foreign troops
should be withdrawn from the territory of the Re-
public of Cyprus;
(6) considers that demilitarization of the Re-
public of Cyprus would meet the security concerns of
all parties involved, would enhance prospects for a
peaceful and lasting resolution of the dispute regard-
ing Cyprus, would benefit all of the people of Cy-
prus, and merits international support; and
(7) encourages the United Nations Security
Council and the United States Government to con-
•HCON 42 IH
sider alternative approaches to promote a resolution
of the long-standing dispute regarding Cyprus based
upon relevant Security Council resolutions, including
incentives to encourage progress in negotiations or
effective measures against any recalcitrant party.
