Mr. Speaker. communism has made grandiose claims about living conditions in Lithuania since communism took over. There are ample facts available to completely disprove these claims--reports of refugees. statistics released by the government. intelligence estimates. Before the last war more than twothirds of the Lithuanian people were engaged in agriculture. That is .probably about the same as today. What is the daily life of a Lithuanian peasant. living in a Soviet collective? First. his basic possessions are very meager. He must eat. wear. and own whatever the collective allows him. He eats with others. he works with others. and lie goes wherever he is told.
