RESTORATION OF FREEDOM TO CAPTIVE NATIONS

Mr. DOUGLAS (for himself, Mr. LAUSCHE, Mr. DODD, and Mr. MCNAMARA) submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 102); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

Whereas the rulers of the Soviet Union have repeatedly declared their determination to pursue relentlessly their political, economic, and ideological drive for a worldwide victory for communism; and

Whereas in its efforts to attain that objective, the Soviet Union, through force of arms, subversion, infiltration, and other methods, has imposed puppet Communist regimes upon the people of the captive nations of Eastern and Central Europe and exerted tireless effort to crush their spirit and to transform their countries into replicas-on political, eco

nomic, social, cultural, and administrative levels of the Soviet Union; and Whereas in direct violation of the provisions of the Yalta agreement, the people of the captive nations are still being denied the opportunity to solve their problems by democratic means and to choose, through free and unfettered elections, national governments of their own free choice; and

Whereas in contravention of duly ratified treaties of peace, of the Charter of the United Nations, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and of expressions of the United Nations General Assembly, the people of the captive nations are being systematically deprived of the exercise of fundamental freedoms and basic human rights; and

Whereas the United States of America has consistently refused to sanction, either directly or by implication, the political status quo of the captive nations; and

Whereas the United States of America has stood firmly on the principle of selfdetermination, welcoming the enlargement of the area of freedom and selfself-government and insisting on the inalienable right of the people of the captive nations to live under governments of their own choice; and

Whereas the establishment of just and lasting peace is inconceivable without the restoration of freedom, independence, and national sovereignty to the captive people of Eastern and Central Europe, which objective the United States of America is determined to pursue by all feasible means: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That

(1) the Congress of the United States calls for the respect of the fundamental freedoms and human rights of the people of the captive nations;

(2) the Congress of the United States reaffirms its belief in the inalienable right of the people of the captive nations to live under governments of their own choice; and

(3) the Congress of the United States urges the President to pursue energetically at the forthcoming summit conference the restoration of the fundamental freedoms and basic human rights of the people of the captive nations.
