In 1992, Mr. Speaker, I chaired hearings of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and heard heart-wrenching stories of people who had relatives abducted during and after the invasion. As a result of legislation that I cosponsored, our government recently discovered the remains of one of the missing, a young American named Andrew Kasapis. Andrew disappeared when he was 17. His remains were recently found in a field in Cyprus. The administration's report to Congress on the whereabouts of the U.S. Citizens missing from Cyprus since the invasion concluded that the other four Americans are presumed dead. However, it is imperative that the administration maintain efforts to find the truth and account for these four Americans who along with 1,614 others have still not been found.
