I am proud to rise in support of the 24th obvservance of Captive Nations Week. I commend the President of the United States for his personal proclamation and the ceremony he held in the White House Rose Garden. I am especially proud to represent an area. the Lehigh Valley. of Pennsylvania. which has benefited richly from the many people who have emigrated from captive nations. I have observed firsthand the tremendous respect that these people have for the meaning of freedom. Many of the residents of the Lehigh Valley still retain a love for their original homelands and continue to hope and pray for the day when those homelands will be free and people can live without fear.
