                           AIPAC IS EFFECTIVE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, this week, we welcomed 
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to Washington for the 
annual AIPAC Policy Conference.
  This conference, with over 18,000 attending, is the largest gathering 
of America's pro-Israel community. AIPAC President Betsy Berns Korn is 
a very effective leader.
  Monday, I had the opportunity to have attended the AIPAC Leadership 
Reception hosted by Howard and Elayne Levkowitz with Adam Schiff.
  Yesterday, I met with AIPAC members, led by David Kulbersh and his 
wife, Jane, of Columbia. They continued the tradition of the late David 
Baker of Columbia advising my predecessor, Chairman Floyd Spence.
  Americans appreciate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a world 
statesman, for his cooperation with Jared Kushner for peace. I will 
always cherish leading the congressional delegation for the opening of 
the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem with Ambassador David Friedman as 
President Donald Trump fulfilled ``Promises Made, Promises Kept.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Our prayers for Jeannie Burkett.
