I join with my colleagues in extending congratulations to the people of Israel who. in this short span of years. have made such tremendous progress against great odds in the building of their new nation. In 1948 Prime Minister BenGurion declared the establishment of an independent State of Israel and the return of the exiles to that land. Recognition by President Truman and the United States followed. During 18 short years. more than a million immigrants were received by Israel to become a part of the new nation. Through the hard work and consecrated effort of the Israelis. the arid land has been converted to agricultural uses. Industries have been built and are expanding.
