"They sought nothing for themselves, no loot, no conquest, just the right to be free. Their dream was simple: A China free from violence, free from repression, free from want, free from corruption," said U.S. Sen. Larry Pressler in commemorating the observance of the 100th-day of mourning for the victims of the June 4 Tienanmen Square massacre. Statements by Pressler (R-S.D.) and Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) were issued for publication in the Congressional Record as Chinese across the world observed the traditional 100th day of mourning for the pro-democracy demonstrators who fell before the guns and tanks of the Communist People's Liberation Army. Helms praised the mainland victims "who died in the cause of freedom 100 days ago and those who suffer today. Their cause is just. Their cause will triumph. We will not forget." Sen. Pressler said the young men and women who died at Tienanmen Square "were risking their lives for their country." He said: "In time, the cause of liberty and justice will triumph in (mainland) China. The people of (mainland) China will overcome the machine guns, the tanks, the secret police, and all other forms and symbols of repression and tyranny. Until then, it will be a struggle to which we must give our moral support."
