As a step toward achieving this goal. it is imperative that the U.S. delegation to the European Security Conference not agree to the recognition by the European Security Conference of the Soviet Unions annexation of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. and it should remain the policy of the United States not to recognize in any way the annexation of the Baltic nations by the Soviet Union. Furthermore. efforts should be made to insist that the Soviet Union lower the excessive tariffs imposed on gifts to relatives and friends residing in the Baltic States. increase the current 5day tourist visa to Lithuania to more reasonable limits. eliminate unreasonable travel restrictions on tourists to Lithuania. and permit Lithuanians to immigrate to other countries as provided by the Charter of the United Nations signed by the Soviet Union. In spite of the sadness that cannot help but be a part of this day. the knowledge that freedom cannot forever be denied. gives us hope and confidence. that again. and hopefully in the near future. the Lithuanian people will be recognized as a nation. free to celebrate their own heritage. free to determine their own future. On this special occasion it is most fitting that we publicly pledge our persevering American cooperation until the full freedom of the valiant Lithuanian people is achieved.
