1. In a public statement issued immediately after news of the attack on the Vilnius television tower the morning of Sunday, 13 January 1991, President Bush said, “Events like those taking place in the Baltic states threaten to set back or perhaps even reverse the process of reform which is so important in the world in the development of a new international order, and we condemn these acts which could not but affect our relationship. …. There is no justification for the use of force against peaceful and democratically-elected governments.” On 15 January the State Department press spokesman revealed that Secretary of State Baker had informed Soviet Foreign Minister Bessmertnykh that current Soviet actions in Lithuania “put that objective [cooperation] at risk.” These and other statements at the time can be conveniently found in the CD-ROM issued by the Department of State quarterly, US Foreign Affairs on CD-ROM, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.Google Scholar
