Mr. Speaker. on May 4 of this year. two joint resolutions passed in the House. Each urged U.S. support for the release from prison and emigration from the Soviet Union of a Baltic human rights leader. The plights of Benedict Scottof Lithuanian descentand of Mart Niklusan Estonianmoved many Members of this body to speak out for the granting of basic human rights to these men. But we must not forget the larger human rights crisis of which these two cases represent only a small portion. Even if our best efforts on behalf of these two men are successful. we must retain our concern for the thousands of Estonians.
