It is significant that to this day the United States continues to recognize the emigre government which is truly the constitutional government of Lithuania. and I hope the United States will soon find a way to give these Lithuanian exiles. who struggle so hard to keep alive the spirit of freedom which the Lithuanians have so gallantly defended through the centuries. alive. I am sure all Americans join me in expressing the sincere hope that within our lifetime we will be able to see Lithuania. along with all the other captive nations. once again emerge as a symbol of freedom and democracy on the European continent. Otherwise. those 30.000 Lithuanians. whose deportation and subsequent death in Siberia we mourn today. will have given their lives in vain. Project Hope
