Speaker. this week we celebrate the 33d birthday of the founding of Israel. The developments in May 1948. marked a remarkable rebirth after 1.900 years of exile for the Jewish people. Out of the ashes of the holocaust. a nation was formed with refugees from Europe and from the Arab nations. Deserts and swamps were converted into fertile farms and kibbutzim as a vital society emerged. The immigrants have built a nation dedicated to democracy. and with reliance on Western values. The growth of the State of Israel was aided greatly by American support. both through its government and privately through its citizenry. Our military and economic support has been significant.
