Mr. Speaker. 16 years ago the world was shocked by the conduct of our then ally. the Soviet Union. Sixteen years ago. on June 13 and 14. the deportation of 60.000 Lithuanians from their beloved homeland to the frozen steppes of Siberian and other labor camps was carried out. Their fate remains unknown. The horrible practice of mass deportation has been condemned in numerous international agreements and treaties since the end of World War II. Few other crimes are more onerous. The hardships and martyrdom of these people. friends and relatives of many of us here in the United States. is worthy of our deepest tribute and! homage.
