                  MEETING WITH PRESIDENT REUVEN RIVLIN

  (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, on Monday, I appreciate 
meeting with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin at the U.S. Capitol. We 
are always grateful for the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to 
Israel.
  Recently, Hamas terrorists in Gaza launched 4,500 Iranian-produced 
rockets against Israeli families. America should always stand with our 
allies. The world is impressed by Israel as she defends herself with 
the Iron Dome.
  It is encouraging to see the successes of Iron Dome intercepting 
rockets

launched by Iranian-backed Hamas. The Iron Dome intercepted 90 percent 
of the rockets toward the civilian areas of Israel protecting Israeli 
families.
  Allies stand together. Thank you, President Rivlin, for your 
incredible insight on the murderous threat of Iran. Israel is vigilant 
in monitoring Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile development, 
which would deliver nuclear warheads against North America.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
