Through his efforts. he was able to continue to keep alive the flame of freedom in the minds and hearts of millions of his countrymen who are still in Lithuania. He was able to evoke among thousands of his countrymen abroad a conviction that his land and their land would some day be free. Mr. President. although sadness marks this day. I am proud to say that the victims of that mass deportation and annihilation are not forgotten. Indeed. they will never be forgotten where free men assemble. It is for this reason that I pay tribute to the Americans of Lithuanian descent who are commemorating this day.
