The country of Lebanon has great stakes in the outcome of the peace talks. along with all other nation states in the region. and stands ready to continue the talks to their conclusion which. they pray. will see an end to the occupation of Lebanon. Finally. Mr. Speaker. I visited the Palestinian refugee camps. There too. to my astonishment. I found that those who are helplessly entrenched in those camps were deeply aware of the ongoing peace talks In Washington. and poignantly hopeful that the outcome of those talks will see their return to what. to them. is their homeland. too.
