Mr. President. earlier this month was the anniversary of the occupation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union. This marks the 46th year since the people of Estonia. Lithuania. and Latvia lost the freedom to express their culture openly. Mass deportation has occurred and systematic repopulation. The Soviet occupation of the Baltic States represents an attempt to destroy a culture. However. the fight to hold on to this culture still continues. The nations of Estonia. Lithuania. and Latvia remain under illegal rule by the Soviet Union. The Soviets continue to deport millions of Estonians. Lithuanians. and Latvians to remote parts of the Soviet Union.
