Public Law 86-90 which establishes Captive Nations Week
The National Captive Nations Committee (NCNC) is an anti-Communism advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.. It was established in 1959 according to Pub.L. 86-90 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, which introduced the Captive Nations Week, with the purpose to maintain the Captive Nations List. The founder and long-time chairman of NCNC was Lev Dobriansky, who wrote the original Captive Nations Resolution, which was signed into Public Law 86-90.[1]
The activities of the NCNC include sponsoring the Captive Nations Award and the annual Captive Nations Week.[1]
In 1993, Section 905 of the Public Law 103-199 authorized the NCNC to establish an organization (Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation) to construct, maintain, and operate the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, D.C. [2]
Records of the activities of the NCNC from 1970-1982 (correspondence, clippings, photographs, books, etc.) are donated by Dobriansky to Syracuse University.[1]
