It has become the practice of this House to pay tribute to the Lithuanian people whose devotion to freedom and independence has led them to heroic feats to resist Russian tyranny. The recent heinous events in Hungary brought to light the truth about the Soviet Unions cruel imperialism. The dramatic flight of Hungarian refugees bared to the world the brutal Soviet oppression of Hungarian liberties and gave the lie to the Soviet propaganda that they are the peaceloving defenders of human rights against Western imperialism and colonialism. This February 16. the anniversary of Lithuanias independence. it is particularly fitting that we recall that oncefree Lithuania. like Hungary. was the victim of Soviet aggression. It is imperative that we remember that oncefree Lithuania. like Hungary. is still enslaved by the Kremlin.
