Mr. Speaker. America is proud of the Lithuanian immigrants who came to our shores and by their character. industriousness. and loyalty to their adopted land. have made marked contributions to the progress and development of this great Nation. In my congressional district in Pennsylvania. we have many fine Lithuanian families whose children represent a generation of American citizens of the highest calibre. These young men and women have served their country with honor and distinction in all the wars in which it has engaged. reflecting to a marked degree the love of freedom exemplified by their parents many of whom came here as immigrants seeking the liberty denied them in their native land. Today the American Nation. in its salute to the freedomloving people. joins in their prayers that a just and merciful God will hasten the day when they may break the shackles that now consign them to a life of suffering and servitude.
