          TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NEGOTIATES PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST

  (Mr. BOST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, we are witnessing history at this time: 
historic peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the 
UAE and Bahrain, both negotiated with the help of the Trump 
administration.
  But judging from the media coverage, you would hardly know it. In 
fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we actually saw a banner headline like 
this: Extra! Trump kills U.S. defense jobs! President brokers Middle 
East peace deals.
  I made this front-page parody, but it is trying to make a point.
  When President Jimmy Carter brokered the Camp David Accords between 
Egypt and Israel, the achievement was celebrated. He was awarded the 
Nobel Peace Prize. It was a defining moment in history.
  There have been just four peace agreements negotiated between Israel 
and its Arab neighbors. President Trump played an important role in two 
of these, as well as his administration.
  Let's give credit where credit is due, and let's work together for 
even more peace in the region.
