Mr. Speaker. once again the time has come for us to pause and in reverent sympathy commemorate the first waves of Soviet deportations from the Baltic States in June 1941. The seemingly neverending sequel to the drama is still being played. for the Soviet Communists did not -tp at one rash act of forcible seizure of persons. even though in this one act alone thousands of citizens of the Baltic nations were removed from their homelands to eastern Russia and Siberia. Excuses for arrest and exile were not hard to find for authorities as adept as the Soviets at weaving justifications out of a void and at molding confessions out of silence.
