Speaker. we are in the process of observing the 15th anniversary of Captive Nations Week. How many more of these sad affairs will we see? As the years pass and we seek closer relations with the Soviet Union. it becomes more and more easy to forget those nations that lost their identities in Soviet takeovers. We must remember in our dealings with the U.S.S.R. that behind the facade of smiling faces. toasts. and gifts. people are being imprisoned. tortured. refused emigration. and denied religion and culture. Not to continue to seek relief for these people and their enslaved homelands would be to compromise our principles of national independence. personal freedom. and justice.
