Often forced to survive for months. or even years in forests and mountains. members of the resistance and the Polish populace at large reacted consistently with spirit and conviction. Refusing to betray their national honor and collaborate with the enemy. 6 million Poles preferred selfrespect and death to capitulation. Millions more suffered deportation and imprisonment in concentration camps. Even in 1945. there was no peace for Poland. Absorbed by Soviet imperialism. the Poles have continued to fight for personal liberty and national integrity. Those who have immigrated to the United States have brought with them their love of liberty. and their respect for law and order. They have contributed much. socially. economically. politically. and culturally. to the advancement of our Nation. and have helped make the United States great. My admiration and respect go out to all the Poles in America and especially those in Pennsylvanias Sixth Congressional District.
