FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 25, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I deeply regret the announcement of the Government of Turkey
to suspend all American activities at joint U.S. Turkish defense
installations and to take over control and supervision of
these important installations.
I repeatedly warned the House of Representatives of extremely
serious consequences, such as this, if the United States failed
to restore military sales and credits to our Turkish allies.
I again want to praise those House members of both parties
who voted in the national interest. Now, as a result of
yesterday's 223-206 vote in the House of Representatives, Turkey
has today announced actions which I believe will work to the
detriment of critically important U.S. security interests.
In view of these damaging developments, I urge the House of
Representatives to reconsider its refusal to restore the
traditional U.S. - Turkish defense relationship. Prompt,
affirmative action by the House of Representatives is essential
to the vital national defense interests of the United States,
our partners in the Eastern Mediterranean, and our allies in the
Atlantic Alliance.
