Mr. Scott was born in my hometown of Chicago in 1929. In 1930 his parents of Lithuanian descent. emigrated from the United States back to their newly independent homeland of Lithuania. Less than 1 year later the Soviets illegally invaded and occupied Lithuania. Mr. Scott is a U.S. citizen by birth and is being illegally detained in a Soviet prison camp. House Resolution 200. which is before us today will express the sense of the Congress with respect to the unjust imprisonment of Benedict Scott a citizen of the United States. This resolution would urge the President to take every appropriate action to secure the release of this American citizen and the emigration of Mr. Scott and his family from the Soviet Union.
