Mr. Speaker. today I rise in support of H. Con. Res. 322. to recognize the 60th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel and the bond of friendship between the United States and Israel. Like the United States. the State of Israel has stood as a beacon of democracy and hope for Jewish immigrants all over the world. As an immigrant myself. I understand the importance of the democratic freedoms and values that our Nation holds dear. The United States and Israel share and embrace those values as the cornerstones of a vibrant. democratic society. Last August. I was fortunate enough to visit Israel for the first time. and I witnessed the importance of friendship that the United States and Israel share.
