                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the Republic of Lithuania on the tenth anniversary of 
  the reestablishment of its independence from the rule of the former 
                             Soviet Union.

Whereas the United States had never recognized the forcible incorporation of the 
        Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania into the former Soviet 
        Union;
Whereas the declaration on March 11, 1990, of the reestablishment of full 
        sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Lithuania led to the 
        disintegration of the former Soviet Union;
Whereas Lithuania since then has successfully built democracy, ensured human and 
        minority rights, the rule of law, developed a free market economy, 
        implemented exemplary relations with neighboring countries, and 
        consistently pursued a course of integration into the community of free 
        and democratic nations by seeking membership in the European Union and 
        the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and
Whereas Lithuania, as a result of the progress of its political and economic 
        reforms, has made, and continues to make, a significant contribution 
        toward the maintenance of international peace and stability by, among 
        other actions, its participation in NATO-led peacekeeping operations in 
        Bosnia and Kosovo: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress hereby--
            (1) congratulates Lithuania on the occasion of the tenth 
        anniversary of the reestablishment of its independence and the 
        leading role it played in the disintegration of the former 
        Soviet Union; and
            (2) commends Lithuania for its success in implementing 
        political and economic reforms, which may further speed the 
        process of that country's integration into European and Western 
        institutions.

            Passed the Senate March 2, 2000.

            Attest:

                                                    GARY SISCO,

                                                             Secretary.
