Mr. President. the Captive Nations Week ResolutionPublic Law 90of which I was a cosponsor. authorizes and requests the President of the United States to issue a proclamation declaring a week in July to be Captive Nations Week. For the past 3 years this week has had a special and significant meaning to those citizens of the United States who came to this country as refugees from the encroachments of the Soviet Union and to those people. still behind the Iron Curtain. who were not fortunate enough to escape. The response to the resolution in the United .States was highly gratifying to those of us who sponsored it. Equally satisfying was the reaction behind the Iron Curtain.
