I commend the LithuanianAmerican community of the United States for its devoted work in making. not just the Congress but the Nation as a whole. remember that Lithuania is not free. The anniversary of the Soviet occupation is a suitable occasion to recall the words adopted in August 1958. by the Lithuanian World Congress. Consisting of Lithuanian refugees and immigrants to the free world. this Congress framed a resolution calling upon free nations to "reaffirm in every suitable occasion the inalienable rights of the Lithuanian people to national independence and individual freedom." I think I can speak for all Americans who revere personal and national freedom when I express the fervent hope that liberty and independence are soon returned to Lithuania. Surely. the Lithuanian people. in this enlightened age. are entitled to their own national identity and the right to direct their own destiny.
