                       CONDEMN TERRORIST ATTACKS

                                 ______


                             HON. JACK REED

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 29, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn, in the strongest 
possible terms, the recent wave of terrorist attacks against the Jewish 
people. These vicious and cowardly attacks serve as a grim reminder 
that the enemies of peace remain intent on continuing their murderous 
ways.
  Four deadly explosions in less than 10 days, 95 innocent people 
killed in Buenos Aires, 22 dead in Panama, and 19 injured in London. We 
must not delude ourselves, Mr. Speaker. Even as this Congress was 
witnessing the historic address by King Hussein of Jordan and the 
Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, terrorists where working around 
the globe to undermine the monumental victory for peace in the Middle 
East.
  In memory of the men, women, and children who have perished at the 
hands of these coldblooded killers, we must redouble our efforts to 
build a new era of peace between Israel and her neighbors. The United 
States must continue to support the peace process, both at the 
negotiating table and as a defender of justice. Together with Israel, 
we must commit our resources to apprehending the terrorists and holding 
them and their sponsors responsible for these heinous crimes.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask all of my colleagues to join me in making it 
perfectly clear that nothing will be allowed to jeopardize the 
foundation for Arab and Israeli cooperation that was laid in Washington 
this week. We will not rest until the terrorists are brought to 
justice. We will not turn our back from the promise of peace in the 
Middle East.
