Mr. Speaker. I wish to thank my colleagues. Mr. FEIGHAN and Mr. BURTON. for holding this special order. Last weekend. President Bush expressed his opposition to new Jewish immigration to East Jerusalem. As much as I support the Presidents foreign policy views. I feel compelled to object to this statement. Maintaining a united Jerusalem transcends philosophical differences between the political parties within the Israeli Government and touches the very heart and soul of the Jewish people. With the recent breakup of the Israeli governing coalition. it is important that statements from the United States not be used to heighten volatility in an already dangerous region.
