Speech #840063209

I ask unanimous consent to insert in the RECORD the address I delivered on InactionA Dubious Factor in our Foreign Policy: I am honored to join with you today in commemorating this. the 15th anniversary of the seizure and forced incorporation of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. On this occasion we are sadly mindful of those cruel events which took place on June 14. 1941. in each of the three Baltic States. resulting in the forced deportation of over 50.000 Godfearing. freedomloving patriots to a life of slavery and for some. death in the Soviet Union. This occasion also brings into sharper focus the tactics used by the Russians to bring about the occupation and illegal incorporation of the Baltic States. Those tactics I speak of began with the signing of the socalled mutualassistance pacts between each of the Baltics States and the Soviet Union each of which the Russians forced upon each of the Baltic States.
