Mr. President. on Saturday people around the free world with ties to Lithuania joined in programs to commemorate the glory of this small but proud nation and to protest the continued repression of their homeland. The Soviet Union invaded Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia in June 1940 and within a year deported more than 150.000 people from these Baltic nations. In June 1941 Lithuania regained its freedom and independence for a very brief period before being overrun by another oppressor. Nazi Germany. Since World War II Lithuania has been one of the captive nations struggling under the yoke of Soviet oppression.
