Mr. Speaker. I am very happy to pay tribute in honor of the 15th anniversary of the State of Israel. Since its establishment. the State of Israel has made considerable development and is now the most progressive and stabilized country in the Middle East. Its population has been more than doubled by the influx of persecuted refugees from all over the world. particularly from Arab and Moslem countries. To me. Israel is a foothold of democracy in the Middle East. A strong Israel is important to the security and welfare of the United States. Of all the countries in the Middle East. the State of Israel stands out clearly as the most dependable exponent of democracy.
