Excerpt from press release by the Irish National Caucus:
"Washington, D.C., November 16, 1995 -- The Irish National Caucus -- the Irish Lobby on Capitol Hill, has called off its four year old boycott of Timex watches. Timex is owned by Fred Olsen, owner of Harland and Wolff.

"The Caucus launched the Timex boycott when Olsen purchased Harland and Wolff to protest anti-Catholic discrimination at that company.

"The ending of the boycott was announced by Caucus President, Father Sean McManus who is visiting Belfast. Speaking after a four hour tour of Harland and Wolff, Father McManus said "the Caucus boycott is called off immediately. I was very impressed with the attitude and atmosphere at Harland and Wolff. I now believe they are committted to building a workforce free from discrimination."
