Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this resolution gives a sense of observation and recognition of this 59th anniversary of the Nazi-Soviet Pact of Non- Aggression. The resolution reaffirms the U.S. Policy of the nonrecognition of the occupation by the Soviet Union of the free Baltic states, mainly Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, subsequent to this infamous non-agression pact which was done in 1939. The resolution also urges Russia to renounce as illegal the Molotov- Ribbentrop NonAgression Pact and its secret protocols. The resolution welcomes the signing of the U.S.-Baltic Charter in January 1998, and it calls also on the President and the Secretary of State to ensure that Russia understands that the Nazi-Soviet Non- Aggression Pact should be considered illegal, null and void. The resolution will have no impact on U.S. foreign policy, Mr. Speaker.”
