There was much joy and many festivities throughout Israel this week at the successful completion of 25 years of toil and perseverance of the creation and security of an independent Jewish state. These years have earned for the people of Israel the luxury of enjoying the fruits of life in a free nation. I offer my congratulations to the Israeli people on this happy occasion. Americans of many faiths have always felt an indissoluble bond between our country and the State of Israel. We have in many respects a common history. mutual purposes and shared ideals. Both are nations born in war and built by immigrants. Both are dedicated to democratic and humanitarian goals. Both have transformed foreign oppression into national opportunity.
