We. as a Government. must do what we can to persuade the Soviets to implement policy changes that will ease the plight of all Lithuanians. Policy changes have been proposed that would significantly improve the conditions of these enslaved peoples. Specifically called for are: First. a reduction in tariff rates on parcels going to relatives in the Baltic States. second. allowances for a longer duration on the present 5day tourist visa. third. more reasonable travel restrictions on tourists going to Lithuania. and fourth. in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations which was signed by the U.S.S.R.. provisions for Lithuanians to meet with family in other countries. On June 15. all American Lithuanians as well as free Lithuanians from the other nations throughout the world will join together to mourn the plight of these people held under the dictates of Russian totalitarianism. This certainly is an appropriate time for all U.S. lawmakers to investigate the situation and see what we can do to help promote universal justice throughout the world.*
