Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. Chairman:)

    In accordance with Public Law 95-384 (22 U.S.C. 2373(c)), I submit 
to you this report on progress toward a negotiated settlement of the 
Cyprus question covering the period February 1 through March 31, 2001. 
The previous submission covered events during December 2000 and January 
2001.
    The United Nations continued in its efforts to sustain the proximity

to the United Nations effort to find a just and lasting settlement to 
the Cyprus problem.
     Sincerely,
