On the recordJune 9, 2010
If the gentleman would briefly yield, I, too, want to add my thanks to you. I don't know if they have C-SPAN in Israel, but sometimes it's easy in that little country to feel beset on all sides. We share the same common sense that they do, that they're victims of terror, and I want to thank you. We disagree on a lot in this place--and you're going to spend the next hour or so pointing out some of those things--but there are some things that have broad bipartisan support, and the support of Israel is one of those things, and I want to thank you for being at the forefront of that.
