Mr. Speaker. in reverence. I join my colleagues in tribute to the State of Israel on the 19th anniversary of independence. Israel is an inspiration to individuals and to states. The Israeli. a dauntless people. established themselves in their ancient homeland. They opened their land to homeless refugees from Europe and north Africa: They made the desert bloom. From that desert they have developed an export business in fruits. To the markets of Europe they are shipping citrus fruits as well as avocadoes and other fruits formerly unknown. - Israel is a country. poor in natural resources. Consequently its economic wellbeing is based on foreign trade.
