Speaker. it is very fitting that the fourth annual anniversary of Captive Nations Week be properly observed by all freedomloving Americans. and that we all Join together in rededicating ourselves to the cause of individual freedom and national independence. reaffirming our support of the millions who are victims of Communist tyranny. A colossal monument to this tyranny. and to the failure of the Communist system. which cannot tolerate diversity and freedom. is the Berlin wall. Although the wall has checked the flow of refugees into West Berlin. cutting it back from several thousands daily to a mere handful of people who manage to scale the border fortifications or crawl under them. nevertheless. in the broader sense of blocking Western influence on the thinking. aspirations. and convictions of the East German people. the Communist regime has failed. At least 90 percent of the population is believed to be hostile to the Communist regime. Nor is this the only example of captive nations opposition to Moscows imperiocolonial rule.
