  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor the Nevada delegation from the American Israel Public Affairs 
Committee. I am delighted to have my colleagues in the Nevada 
Congressional Delegations, Representatives Shelly Berkley and Dean 
Heller, join me in recognizing the advocacy efforts of the AIPAC 
delegation.
  The Nevada delegation from the American Israel Public Affairs 
Committee (AIPAC) recently visited Washington, DC to advocate on behalf 
of Israel and ensure that American support for Israel remains strong. 
AIPAC is working to promote strategic cooperation between the two 
nations, to develop sound U.S. anti-terrorist policies, to share 
homeland security techniques and technologies, and to stop rogue 
nations such as Iran from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
  Following several days of meetings and speakers, the Nevada 
delegation visited with their Congressional Representatives to advocate 
on behalf of these ideals and share their views with the Nevada 
Congressional delegation. It is truly an honor to meet with such 
dedicated advocates. AIPAC has a strong record of creating citizen 
advocates who are passionate about pro-Israel issues and are dedicated 
to learning how they can affect Israel's future and security by 
promoting strong ties with the United States.
  This years Nevada AIPAC delegation included: Ms. Ariel Shalin, Miss 
Heather Brown, Ms. Adriel Espinoza, Mr. Michael Roitman, Mr. Andrew 
Spivak, Mr. Michael Thomas, Ms. Sara Kantor, Mr. Max Berkley, Dr.
