Mr. President. it is doubtful whether there is any national group in this wide world with such fierce fidelity to freedom as the peoples of the Baltic State Republics. I have had occasion to visit with many of them who were in a refugee status in East and West Germany long ago and I never cease to be amazed at their willingness even at advanced ages to start life anew in an atmosphere of freedom if it could not be achieved for their homelands. The Baltic peoples who reside in this country have enriched the culture and tradition of our people and at the same time retained those ancestrial ties and that devotion to freedom which makes them stand apart. Their unending search for this great boon to mankind merits every possible encouragement and to that end I present a concurrent resolution and ask that it be appropriately referred and that it also be printed as a part of my remarks.
