Mr. Speaker. on June 15 next. free people from around the world will be pausing to pay tribute to a people whose faith and courage has been a true inspiration to all men. and whose struggle for recognition and freedom has been. in a particular way. close to the hearts of all Americans. Thirtyfour years ago. the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Lithuania. and deported thousands of its citizens to concentration camps in Siberia. In doing so. the Soviet Union thought it could destroy a nations heritage. and obliterate a peoples will for freedom and selfdeterminization. Since then the Soviet Union has continued its suppressive activities.
