                   Recognition of the Minority Leader

  The Republican leader is recognized.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I had an opportunity to watch the 
majority leader's speech this morning. It was extraordinary. I want to 
compliment him for providing a history lesson for Americans about the 
history of the Jewish people and putting it in context with the 
conflict that is underway.
  So I want to thank him and associate myself with his remarks. I share 
his disgust at the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in America--and 
around the world--in the wake of the October 7 attacks.
  So, again, I stand with him in condemning this hatred. And I stand 
with our ally, Israel, as it defends, literally, its right to exist.
