On the recordMay 12, 2026
President Washington closed that letter to the congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, this way. He said: "May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabits; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid." I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for her resolution. I thank the gentleman from North Carolina for his thoughtful remarks, and I encourage all my colleagues to vote for this resolution.
