It is special because we in Congress have had two successes on behalf of the Lithuanian people within recent months. First. our goal of having Radio Liberty initiate broadcasts in the Lithuanian language has been achieved. broadcasts in Lithuanian began early last month. Second. our determination to obtain the release of the Lithuanian sailor Simas Kudirka from a Soviet prison camp resulted in his release last August and in his emigration to the United States last October. Those of you who worked with me on these two matters know how difficult it was to obtain the desired results. But we pursued these goals with persistence. and we won.
