President. it is now 12 years since the fateful day of August 21. 1968. when the Soviet Union projected its immense power into Czechoslovakia and forcefully occupied that country. The military occupation continues today in violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. Those of us who have known refugees from Czechoslovakia now living in the United States understand very clearly the human suffering and the deprivation of freedom endured by the Czech and Slovak peoples as a result of the Soviet action against their country. All of us sympathize with those who have fled from communism in Czechoslovakia. communism imposed in February 1948. communism which continues to subjugate their homeland. We sympathize as well with those who continue to live in Czechoslovakia. subjected to a harsh foreign influence over their country.
