You could see the enthusiasm among the Lithuanians on the right to be able to worship their God. to be able to have an election and choose their leaders. to have the opportunity to get up and speak and to say whatever they wanted to say. Oh. what a spark it put into our hearts to see that enthusiasm for democracy and for independence. But the battle has only begin. The Soviets are now turning down any requests for visas for any Member of Congress to come and witness any other elections. We saw history being made. We saw the beginning of the end of the Communist Party as we know it.
