Mr. Speaker. 23 years ago one of the greatest crimes that can be perpetrated against humanity took place. In June 1941. thousands of helpless Estonians. Latvians. and Lithuanlans were uprooted from their homes. torn from their families. and deported by the Communists to slave labor camps in Russia. There they suffered torture. starvation. and disease. many died. This was done to subjugate the people of those three nations and force them under the alien rule of Communist Russia. But the spirit and desire for freedom can never be conquered and in the hearts of the Baltic people there still burns the love of and desire for liberty from oppression.
