Mr. President. last week Americans of Lithuanian. Estonian and Latvian descent observed the anniversary of the tragic occupation of these free and independent nations by the relentless armies of Red Russia. It was during 194041 that the Soviet conducted mass deportations of citizens from these three occupied countries and exiled them to the slave labor camps of Soviet Russia. Now. more than 20 years later. these nations still lie prostrate under the military power of the Soviet and those who remained in the homeland are deprived of their natural rights and the fundamentals of a free people. Mr. President. I join with all Americans and those who love freedom throughout the world. in recalling to mind these tragic nations and pray that in due time deliverance from the hand of the captor will come.
