Speaker. this year the importance of Captive Nations Week assumes greater significance than ever before. The Communistconstructed Berlin wall dramatically demonstrates that the Iron Curtain needs concrete and mortar reinforcement when it comes in close contact with the civilization of the free world. The valiant stories of refugees risking life itself to surmount such barriers in order to obtain asylum in the free world are adding moving chapters to the annals of human courageas well as Communist cruelty. We know that congressional recognition of the plight of all captive nations causes consternation in the Kremlin and offers needed hope to peoples under its subjugation. In this way we pledge our allegiance to the ideals of freedom which no power on earth has been able to eradicate.
