                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 24, 2000

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I want to join my colleagues in commending 
Israel for its courageous withdrawal from Lebanon. The Israeli action 
sends a strong signal that Israel is very serious about pursuing a 
comprehensive peace with all its neighbors. At the same time, it is 
critical for this Congress to demand a cessation of all terrorist 
activities in southern Lebanon and to strongly encourage the government 
of Syria to remove its troops from Lebanon as well.
