In the face of talks about d6tente with the Soviet Union. the United States should not agree to the recognition of the Soviet Unions annexation of Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. In discussions with the Soviets. our U.S. representatives should press for the loosening of Russias stranglehold on the people of Lithuania by allowing the following measures: Lowering of excessive tariffs imposed on gifts to relatives and friends residing in the Baltic area. increase the current 5day tourist visa to Lithuania to a more reasonable limit. elimination of unreasonable travel restrictions on tourists to Lithuania. and provisions for Lithuanians to immigrate to other countries as provided by the Charter of the United States and signed by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union can only expect d6tente and most favored nation trade status if it at least allows a small degree of freedom for its people in relation to the rest of the world. LithuanianAmericans are especially concerned about the continuing strife of their fellow Lithuanians.
