Speaker. in recent months. Americans have been witness to two poignant reminders of the uniqueness of our liberties and basic human rights. This year. as we observe the 22d annual Captive Nations Week. the freedoms we enjoy in this country are underscored by contrast with Cuba. and her hordes of asylumseeking refugees. and by Afghanistan. the most recent country to beengulfed by Soviet imperialism. Both events dramatize the severity of repressive regimes and underline our own freedom and quality of life. They also remind us of our need to remain strong so that we may both guarantee our own national integrity and continue as the leader in the global struggle for human rights.
