                       Tuesday, December 6, 2005

  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I stand in support of House 
Resolution 535, which honors the life of former Israeli Prime Minister 
Yitzak Rabin on the tenth anniversary of his assassination. I would 
like to join the world community in celebrating his life and legacy. 
Yitzak Rabin will forever be known as a man of peace who provided many, 
Arabs and Jews alike, with the promise of change in a region engulfed 
in violence. His life gives us hope for the progress of the peace 
process in the Middle East. The anniversary of his death reaffirms the 
special relationship between the United States and Israel and serves as 
a reminder that negotiations can be successful and peace between Arabs 
and Jews can be attained. I hope current leaders in the region honor 
Rabin and use this opportunity to breathe new life into the peace 
process.
