Speaker. on February 16. 1965. we celebrate the 47th anniversary of the Lithuanian Declaration of Independence. We mark this date in the Halls of Congress because the people of Lithuania are not free to celebrate it. We mark it because there is a living link between the United States and Lithuania formed by the many Americans who immigrated here. or whose forefathers immigrated here. from that Baltic nation. Finally. we mark it to remind all peoples stifling under Communist domination that they have not been forgotten by the free world and to fortify their hope that they will someday live in freedom again. For a century and a half prior to its declaration of independence on February 16. 1918.
