Latvia. Hungary. Slovakia. Estonia. the Czech Republic. I was proud to support them. but I am also proud to say that Israel deserves to be on that list. Why shouldnt they have the same opportunity? When we first wrote our visa waiver provision. there were objections that we didnt have enough flexibility. We changed it and now we have 81 sponsors on this legislation. I would ask. how many pieces of legislation have 81 cosponsors? You couldnt even get it for a Mothers Day resolution. I mean this is strong. And of all the times for us to object to this United StatesIsrael Strategic Partnership Act. it should not be today.
