Mr. President. during this month and particularly on June 14. 15. 16. and 17. Americans are marking with somber reflection the tragic deportation of the people of the Baltic Nations to Siberian slave labor camps. It was just 22 years ago. in 1941. that Soviet troops marched into the three tiny selfgoverning countries of Latvia. Lithuania. and Estonia with the sole purpose of occupying and controlling them. And for 22 years. the courageous. yet cruelly suppressed people of the Baltic countries have suffered under the terrible yoke of Communist tyranny. Yet freedom in the Baltic countries has not been an unrealized objective.
