Mr. Speaker. today marks the 40th anniversary of the mass terror the Soviet Union inflicted upon Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. Thousands of men. women. and children lost their lives and many more were taken from their homes and deported to the inhuman conditions of Soviet slave labor camps. Equally tragic. even today. the brave people of the Baltic nations face injustice and deprivation of basic human rights by Soviet occupation forces. All Americans should stand by the people of Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. for they yearn for the basic freedoms we cherish. As Members of Congress. we should speak out against the terrible acts of inhumanity by the Soviet Union and support the rightful independence of the Baltic States.
