          RONALD AND GLENDA KRONGOLD'S WORK WITH ISRAEL BONDS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. I rise today to recognize two outstanding 
Americans, my good friends, Ronald and Glenda Krongold, constituents of 
my congressional district. For decades, the Krongolds have dedicated 
themselves to the safety and security of our democratic Jewish State of 
Israel, including through their leadership in the National Israel Bonds 
Campaign. Ron served as vice chairman and chairman of new leadership.
  Their work on Israel bonds has contributed greatly to Israel's 
thriving economy and its booming scientific, technological, and 
entrepreneurial sectors. Ron's expertise has also benefited our home 
State of Florida. He played a pivotal role in the negotiations of the 
Trade Understanding between our State of Florida and Israel, signed by 
then-Secretary of Commerce for Florida, Jeb Bush.
  Ron and Glenda, for your dedication you have the appreciation of this 
House and of countless Americans and Israelis. Thank you for your work. 
Keep it up.
