 REGARDING THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE MODERN STATE OF 
                                 ISRAEL

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the immediate 
consideration of H. Con. Res. 322.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the concurrent 
resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 322) recognizing the 
     60th anniversary of the founding of the modern State of 
     Israel and reaffirming the bonds of close friendship and 
     cooperation between the United States and Israel.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
concurrent resolution.
  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that the concurrent resolution be 
agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, the motions to reconsider be laid 
on the table with no intervening action or debate, and any statements 
relating to this matter be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 322) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  Mr. REID. I would note that Senator Levin has agreed to lead the 
Senate delegation to this most important occasion. We appreciate very 
much his doing so. He is one of the senior Members of the Senate and 
chairman of the Armed Services Committee, an appropriate person to do 
this.
