Mr. Speaker. in June of 1940 the Russians overran Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. and conducted a mass deportation to Siberia which caused the death of thousands of innocent people. All over the world today the peoples of the Baltic States are commemorating the 27th anniversary of this tragic event. The unfortunate plight of the Baltic States Republics has long been a matter of profound concern to me. During the 89th Congress I introduced a resolution with reference to the continuing enslavement of Lithuania. Estonia. and Latvia. Today I am pleased once again to introduce a similar resolution expressing the sense of the Congress in behalf of the Baltic States and urging that these Republics be freed so that. under the supervision of the United Nations. they may hold elections and choose their own form of government.
