                         TRIBUTE TO SAUL STERN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to Saul 
Stern who will receive the Project Interchange Am Yisrael Chai Award on 
May 25, 2005. Saul Stern has worked tirelessly on behalf of Project 
Interchange to provide American political and civic leaders with a 
first-hand look at the vibrant democracy of Israel. His efforts have 
increased the understanding of many American leaders of the special 
bond shared by the United States and the State of Israel.
  Saul has made involvement with international, national and local 
Jewish and secular communal affairs a lifetime commitment. Over the 
years, Saul has accompanied many political and military leaders to 
Israel to help educate them about the complex issues affecting Israel. 
A passionate supporter of Project Interchange, he believes that the 
most effective way to help people understand the value of the U.S.-
Israeli relationship is by becoming a true eyewitness to life in 
Israel.
  I hope my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives will join 
me in saluting Saul Stern for his commitment and dedication to 
fostering understanding between the United States and Israel.
