The United States has not recognized the forced incorporation into the Soviet Union of Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. and rightly so. We remain committed to the ideal expressed in the Atlantic Charter: To see sovereign rights and selfgovernment restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them. The United States will continue to support the just aspirations for freedom and independence of the Lithuanian people. Lithuanian immigrants have brought with them industry and resourcefulness. They have been a credit to the United States. their adopted homeland. The continuing determination to look toward a free and independent homeland inspires free men everywhere.
