The people we met in Israel on the trip this past weekend all knew about the resolution that the House had passed the day before. It was a remarkable demonstration to me of how much our actions here in the House are followed by the citizens and the government of Israel. Everyone we met with, from Prime Minister Sharon, Foreign Minister Peres, Security Minister Landau, to the Mayor of Jerusalem, to Mikeli the taxicab driver, all knew and all appreciated the work that was done here last Thursday on a bipartisan basis by passing that resolution expressing solidarity with Israel and denouncing the terror. They appreciated the solidarity that we expressed, and there was a strong feeling of appreciation for what we did.
