H.Res. 603 · 109th Congress

Supporting the removal of Turkish occupation troops from the Republic of Cyprus.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Calls upon the U.S. government to advocate for the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus.

Supports of the European Commission's 2005 Progress Report on Turkey, which states that Turkey: (1) continues to wrongfully impose its veto on Cyprus' membership in certain international organizations; (2) insists in excluding Cyprus and Malta from the strategic cooperation between the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in crisis management; and (3) restricts Cyprus-flagged vessels from entering Turkish ports and Cypriot civilian aircraft from using Turkish national airspace.
