I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 599 submitted earlier today by Senator Gillibrand and Senator Kirk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: A resolution (S. Res. 599) expressing vigorous support and unwavering commitment to the welfare, security, and survival of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state with secure borders, and recognizing and strongly supporting its right to act in self-defense to protect its citizens against acts of terrorism. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.
