Lithuania. and Estonia in bondage to the Soviet Union. I am especially pleased to join this ceremony because my maternal family heritage is Lithuanian. I am grateful that my Lithuanian ancestors were able to emigrate to the United States and prosper in our free society. But I am saddened at the knowledge that todays citizens of Lithuania and the other Baltic States still live under the domination of a totalitarian state dedicated to eradicating all semblance of freedom. I commend the Ad Hoc Congressional Committee on the Baltic States and Ukraine in taking this time to keep the memory of Genocide Day fresh in the minds of the Congress and the people of the United States.
