Mr. Speaker. 25 years ago thousands of helpless Estonians. Latvians. and Lithuanians were taken from their homes. torn from their families. and deported by the Soviet Union to slavelabor camps behind the Iron Curtain. These people were among the first victims of the Second World War. and unfortunately. their suffering and hardship are not over yet. We. as Americans. have not forgotten the tragedy of those dark days. We cannot forget that the spirit and desire for freedom can never be conquered. and in the hearts of the Baltic people still burns the love of. and desire for. liberty from oppression.
