So. as we recall what the Soviet Union did in 1940. seizing those three Baltic countries in flagrant violation of specific treaties and international law. our sympathies for the people of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania are greater than ever. It is entirely appropriate that we in this Congress should remind the world of how a nation can be forcibly occupied by another in postWorld War II days. and how thousands of persons can be deported from their own lands to Communist slave campsas has been the case of these brave and beleaguered. If those people had been fortunate enough to have had assistance from the United States such as we have since been able to give to others in widely separated parts of the world. they might still be free today. They and other captive peoples of many nations look to us for their ultimate deliverance and restoration to freedom.
