                              H.J. RES. 76

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RUSH HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 1, 2014

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.J. Res. 
76, legislation that would make supplemental appropriations to provide 
continued support to the Iron Dome system currently in operation in 
Israel.
  As my colleagues know, the Iron Dome system, built jointly with the 
U.S. and Israel, has been used multiple times over the last several 
years, and many times in recent weeks alone, to defeat rocket attacks 
staged by Hamas out of Gaza. As those attacks represent the most 
imminent danger to Israeli population centers, our continued support 
for that system is extremely important.
