US Resolutions concerning the Macedonia name dispute between Greece and FYROM
On July 19, 2011 in the House of Representatives, Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN, member of the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs, introduced a bill acknowledging the efforts of Greece as 'having demonstrated an enormous good will gesture' in conceding to a new official name for the FYROM including a geographical qualifier, whereas the FYROM has continued to violate the provisions of the United Nations-brokered Interim Agreement between itself and Greece through 'incendiary rallies, rhetoric, or propaganda'. The bill, cited as the "Foreign Relation Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2012" under "SEC. 807. (H.R. 2583) LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE TO THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA," proposes a restriction in U.S. foreign aid to the FYROM.
