According to census figures for 1970. Estonians constituted only 68 percent of the population as opposed to 88 percent in 1939. This is a reflection of the fact that the Russian Communists have continued their campaign of intimidation and harassment in Estonia through these long years of occupation with mass deportations to other parts of the Soviet Union and attempts to destroy Estonian cultural autonomy. Mr. Speaker. it was for these reasons that I introduced the following resolution at the beginning of the 94th Congress: Whereas the Government and the people of the United States of America have maintained and enjoyed excellent and friendly relations with the Governments and peoples of the Baltic States Republics of Latvia.
