Targets Poland and Lithuania, which, “virtually alone among post-Communist countries, [have] failed to enact any legislation that provides for a process for the restitution of, or compensation for, private property seized and confiscated by the Nazi and communist regimes.” Refers to “private property” in Poland and “Jewish communal and religious property” in Lithuania. Calls on the secy. of state to report to Congress every six months on the progress made in implementing this resolution.
