Mr. Speaker. once again it is with a feeling of privilege that I join with my colleagues. here on the floor of the House of Representatives on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the first mass deportations from the Baltic States. When communistic Russia invaded the Baltic States of Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. during the infamous 3 days of terror. they deported more than 100.000 people to concentration camps in the remotest sections of Siberia where many died. Under Soviet occupation in these Baltic States a total of more than 600.000 persons have been killed or deported during the years of enslavement. The United States has never recognized this forced incorporation by Soviet forces and never will. We have continued. and should continue. to give our support to the cause of the continued fight for liberty going on in these countries.
