Mr. Speaker. todays and tomorrows dates are reminders of the real depravity of communism. On the nights of June 15 and 16. 1940. some 30.000 Lithuanian men. women. and children were deported to Siberia. Another 5.000 were thrown into Communist prison camps in their own nation. Against its will. Lithuania became a slave state of the U.S.S.R. I am bidden by my conscience to rise again in this House to ask consideration of my House Concurrent Resolution 163. introduced on February 16 and since pending in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. My resolution calls upon the Congress to request the President of the United States to bring up the Baltic States question before the United Nations and ask that the United Nations request the Soviets to withdraw all Soviet troops. agents. colonists. and controls from Lithuania.
