On the recordDecember 3, 2014
In closing, let me say that I am very proud to help send this bill to the President's desk. This is really significant and important. The United States stands with Israel during these challenging times, and deepening our ties with Israel will only help strengthen our mutually beneficial relationship. Let me say that again, ``mutually beneficial relationship.'' It benefits both countries to have the kind of relationship that we have with Israel. It benefits both countries because we have shared values and care about democracy. It benefits both countries because we share intelligence and do so many things together as closest allies. This is a very important piece of legislation, and I urge everyone to support it. I yield back the balance of my time.
