Mr. President. last Friday. February 24. marked the 38th anniversary of the proclamation of independence of the people of Estonia. Many Estonian refugees and Americans of Estonian descent joined on Friday in New York City to commemorate this date and to pay honor to that hardwon independence. Since 1940. the people of Estonia have had no freedom. Every day they hope and pray that their treasured independence will soon be regained. I earnestly share that hope and join in that prayer. Mr. Khrushchev has now apparently rewritten Communist doctrine with respect to the necessity for violent revolution. With continued pressure from all free people. we must hope that the Kremlin masters will return to Estonia that which was so cruelly taken from her 16 years ago.
