 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the right of self-determination should be restored to the people of Lithuania through free and fair elections conducted under the auspices of an international commission; and (2) the withdrawal of all non-Lithuanian military forces and political, administrative, and police personnel from Lithuania prior to the February 24, 1990, scheduled elections will enhance the prospects that the elections will be free and fair.
