Mr. Speaker. this week Americans will commemorate the 25th annual observance of Captive Nations Week to focus attention on those nations controlled by the imperialistic policies of the Soviet Union. During this week we take time to reflect and give thanks for the freedoms of religion. speech. press. and emigration that we enjoy and we also reaffirm our commitment to support the millions of people in the captive nations who can only dream of the precious freedoms that we often take for granted.
