OCTOBER 7, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed S. 2230, an appropriation authorization for fiscal
1976 for the Board for International Broadcasting and military assistance
for Turkey.
The legislation authorizes $65, 640, 000 for the Board for International
Broadcasting and removes certain statutory restrictions on military
assistance to Turkey by permitting delivery of defense articles and services
for which contracts of sale were signed prior to February 5, 1975, the
effective date of the embargo. It also permits renewed commercial arms
sales to Turkey.
The bill also provides that, after enactment of legislation authorizing
fiscal 1976 sales, credits and guaranties under the Foreign Military
Sales Act, and subject to certain other conditions, the President will
be authorized to approve additional sales to Turkey under the Foreign
Military Sales Act if he determines and certifies to Congress that such
sales are necessary in order for Turkey to fulfill its NATO responsibilities.
The bill also requests the President to initiate discussions with Greece to
determine that country's most urgent economic and military assistance needs
and to initiate discussions with Turkey concerning effective means of
preventing the diversion of opium poppy into illicit channels. The President
is required to submit a report to Congress on these discussions within
60 days of enactment of S. 2230 together with his recommendations for
economic and military assistance to Greece for fiscal 1976. Finally,
the bill also requires the President to submit reports to the Congress at
60 day intervals on progress toward a negotiated solution of the Cyprus
conflict.
