 TERRORISM MUST END, AND AMERICA MUST RECOGNIZE THAT ISRAEL FIGHTS ON 
                THE FRONT LINE AGAINST GLOBAL TERRORISM

  (Mr. LANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, as the President of the United 
States and the Prime Minister of Israel were meeting in the Oval 
Office, yet another homicide bombing took place in the state of Israel.
  How many more innocent civilians will need to be killed by this 
monstrous conspiracy before the administration and all Members of 
Congress recognize that we are dealing with a battle between 
civilization and the forces of chaos and destruction? How many millions 
of Saudi PR money will be used to try to tell us that none of this is 
true?
  In recent months, $135 million of Saudi money went to support 
terrorism, and it is high time we call facts by their proper names. The 
President indicated a few months ago that ``You are either with the 
terrorists, or you are with us.''
  The time has come for a clear moral judgment. This terrorism must 
end, and we must recognize that Israel is in the forefront of the 
global struggle against terrorism.
