Mr. Speaker. today we mark the 40th anniversary of the start of the mass deportations and totalitarian repression of the peoples of the three Baltic RepublicsEstonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. While we remember and honor those who suffered and perished. we also reaffirm our recognition. our support and our great respect for our sister republics and their people. and we take this opportunity to say to the world that these things shall not be diminished by the passing of time. nor any adversity. nor the acts of any aggressor. Through Americans longstanding commitment to the freedom and independence of Estonia. Lativa. and Lithuania. we stand irrevocably opposed to armed invasion and conquest.
