Mr. Speaker, our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are grieving at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. This morning, I was grateful to join the Israeli-American Council at their fourth National Council Conference to celebrate our ally, Israel, and the special relationship we have formed over many years with the people of Israel. It was meaningful to be greeted by National Chairman Adam Milstein, and to discuss issues with Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson. The Israeli-American Council is the fastest growing Jewish-American organization in the United States, and works every day to foster a strong and positive relationship between the United States and the Israeli people. I am grateful for their many accomplishments, and I wish them continued success in strengthening the American-Israeli relationship in the years to come through mutual economic success, creating jobs while promoting peace through strength with military cooperation. South Carolina has always appreciated its Jewish heritage as home of the largest Jewish population of any State at the time of the American Revolution. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
