Mr. Speaker. I think It is appropriate that we should pause on the 25th anniversary of the illegal . occupation of LithuaniaJune 15. 1940and the 24th anniversary of the beginning of the first horrible mass deportation from Lithuania and the other Baltic States--June 14. 1941to demonstrate our interest and to reaffirm our intention of helping these afflicted peoples. The terrible experiences to which these poor. helpless people have been subjected by ruthless Communist dictators Is scarcely without precedent in world history and it was in direct conflict with many treaties. conventions. and the United Nations Declaration. the Atlantic Charter. the United Nations Charter. the Genocide Crimes Convention. and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. all of which bear the official signatures of representatives of the Soviet Union. The Estonian.
