H. CON. RES. 124
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should suspend
the proposed sale of the Army Tactical Missile System to the Government
of Turkey until that Government improves its human rights record and
terminates its embargo of Armenia and progress is made to resolve
the conflict on Cyprus.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
DECEMBER 21, 1995
Mr. TORRICELLI (for himself, Mr. BILIRAKIS, and Mr. PALLONE) submitted
the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President
should suspend the proposed sale of the Army Tactical
Missile System to the Government of Turkey until that
Government improves its human rights record and termi-
nates its embargo of Armenia and progress is made
to resolve the conflict on Cyprus.
Whereas the Government of Turkey continues to pursue a
brutal military campaign against the Kurdish people in
the southeast region of Turkey;
Whereas, as part of that campaign, thousands have been
killed, more than 2,000 villages have been destroyed, and
millions have become homeless;
HCON 124 IH
Whereas the Government of Turkey continues to impose an
unlawful embargo on Armenia which has had the effect
of increasing the cost of United States assistance pro-
grams in Armenia;
Whereas the obdurate policies of the Government of Turkey
are preventing a just resolution to the decades-old con-
flict on Cyprus;
Whereas both Greece and the United States have taken fair
and innovative positions to break the deadlock over the
conflict on Cyprus but progress has been blocked by the
Government of Turkey on each occasion;
Whereas the Army Tactical Missile System is a highly ad-
vanced weapon system developed by the United States,
designed for use against artillery and air defense and ma-
neuver elements;
Whereas evidence exists that strongly links the Government
of Turkey to unauthorized transfers of United States and
North Atlantic Treaty Organization weapons to the Re-
public of Azerbaijan;
Whereas the Army Tactical Missile System is a highly cov-
eted weapon system that the United States offers to sell
to very few countries; and
Whereas the United States has a right and an obligation to
condition the sale of the Army Tactical Missile System to
another country based on that country’s respect for basic
human rights: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
President should suspend the proposed sale of the Army
HCON 124 IH
Tactical Missile System to the Government of Turkey
until—
(1) such Government improves its human rights
record and terminates its embargo of Armenia; and
(2) progress is made to resolve the conflict on
Cyprus.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that Canada should join the United

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that Canada should
join the United States in promoting economic growth
and job creation by eliminating tolls along the St. Law-
rence Seaway, and in maximizing the free movement
of goods and commerce through the St. Lawrence
Seaway.
Whereas the Great Lakes region accounts for two-thirds of
Canada’s industrial production and for 40 percent of all
manufacturing in the United States;
•HCON 127 IH
Whereas the St. Lawrence Seaway is a vital link between the
communities in the Great Lakes region and important ex-
port markets, principally the European Union;
Whereas an antiquated toll system has restricted the amount
of tonnage shipped in the St. Lawrence Seaway in recent
decades;
Whereas, in 1987 the United States began to rebate the tolls
it collected, and in 1994 entirely eliminated the collection
of tolls along the St. Lawrence Seaway;
Whereas, in 1993 Canada froze its toll rates along the St.
Lawrence Seaway; and
Whereas many recent studies have concluded that the com-
plete elimination of fees throughout the St. Lawrence
Seaway would boost the regional economy: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Government of Canada should—
(1) eliminate its tolls along the St. Lawrence
Seaway; and
(2) join with the United States to identify ways
to maximize the movement of goods and commerce
through the St. Lawrence Seaway.

cordance with section 163 of the Federal Agriculture 
Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 
7283)); or 
(2) the prevailing world market price for the 
commodity, as determined and adjusted by the Sec-
retary in accordance with this section. 
(c) REPAYMENT RATES FOR EXTRA LONG STAPLE 
COTTON.—Repayment of a marketing assistance loan for 
extra long staple cotton shall be at the loan rate established 
for the commodity under section 1202, plus interest (deter-
mined in accordance with section 163 of the Federal Agri-
culture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 
7283)).
