History is replete with bloodcurdling accounts of the cruel persecution of the Lithuanian people who through their long and admirable history as industrious and peaceloving people have exhibited at all times a burning desire to live their lives in liberty and freedom. In the great State of Pennsylvania. we have thousands of Americans of Lithuanian descent. Many of them. especially in my congressional district. have parents living here who have become naturalized citizens and with their Americanborn offspring constitute a virile and vibrant segment of the America we all love. Therefore. it is only natural that all Americans sympathize with the plight of the Lithuanian people in the homeland because our hearts are attuned to the spirit of liberty and independence purchased for us by the blood of our forefathers. Mindful of the turbulent conditions of world affairs we join our prayers with those of the patient. brave. and persevering Lithuanian people in commemorating the 37th anniversary of their independencean independence that was shortlived and wrested from them by cruel tyrants.
