Chairman. as a Member of the House. I have watched with deep interest the struggle of the Jewish people to establish and to defend their state. Despite the fact that Israel has been compelled to live in a state of siege. the Jewish state has been able to reclaim a desolate and neglected land. to build its economy. to develop its agriculture and industry and. above all. to absorb and rehabilitate hosts of refugees who came in search of sanctuary from discrimination and persecution. In this effort. the State of Israel was assisted not only by the Jewish people of our country but also by the Government of the United States. In 1951.
