Although occupied by totalitarian power. deprived of their individual. political. economic. and religious freedoms. the people of Armenia long for the day when their country will once again resume its rightful place in the family of free nations. Mr. Speaker. on this 33d anniversary of the Armenian revolt. I want to extend my congratulations to the people of that brave country. and to all Americans of Armenian ancestry. It is my hope that in this trying period of their history. the people of Armenia will draw encouragement from the warm regard which our country has held for them. I join in their prayer that the oppression of their native land may soon be ended. Award to lion. Herbert H. Lehman. of New York. in Connection With His Work on Immigration
