“I want to join the distinguished chairman in congratulating the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel) for his leadership, not only tonight but on an ongoing basis on this very important issue, addressing violence in the Middle East and our desire for peace there. I appreciate the constructive nature of his amendment and the more constructive nature of his withdrawing it at this time and look forward to working with him to ensure an end to violence and promotion of peace in the Middle East.”
