House Resolution 211. to establish a House Committee on Captive Nations states in its preamble that the observance of the Captive Nations Week in 1959 and 1960 had caused Moscow to display before the whole worldI quote from the resolution-"lts profound fear of growing free world knowledge of. and interest in. all of the captive nations. the occupied nonRussian colonies within the Soviet Union as well as the satellite states of Europe." May I take a brief look at what has been Moscows reaction to the proclamation of the Captive Nations Week by President Kennedy this year? In a dispatch from New York. dated July 18. Soviet news agency Tass termed President Kennedys action "provocative hullabaloo." "malicious campaign." "fanning of cold war." and "poisoning of international atmosphere." started by the "most inveterate cold war drummers from among the Congressmen. yellow press. and immigrant scum." The Russian yellow sheet. Izvestia. the very next day heaped buckets of refuse on "American hypocrites." "demagogs." "shameless imperialists." "provocateurs." and so forth. We shall not compete with Izvestia in this respect.
