I thank the gentleman for his thoughts. I would only say that the best way to assist Cyprus in weaning itself from the reliance of Russian weaponry is to lift the arms embargo, and this is something that both Cyprus and the United States have studied for a very long time. The best way to strengthen this partnership and alliance is to repeal this embargo. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Congressman Gus Bilirakis, for cosponsoring this amendment and for his leadership on this issue. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
