Mr. Speaker. at midJune of this year the free world commemorates two anniversaries: One is the 25th anniversary of the Soviet seizure of Lithuania and her Baltic neighbors. Latvia and Estonia. the other is the 24th anniversary of the mass deportation of peoples from the Baltic States. The Soviet invasion of Lithuania and the other Baltic States was an act of brazen aggression undertaken without just cause and carried forth with utter disregard for international law. During the period of Lithuanian independence the Governments of Lithuania and the Soviet Union had established a network of treaties and agreements governing their relations.
