                       Thursday, January 8, 2009

  Mr. BOSWELL. Madam Speaker, I strongly support Israel's right to 
defend itself against the rocket attacks by Hamas--attacks which have 
killed and injured many Israeli citizens. Israel's actions are 
understandable. We must stand by our ally and be involved in any 
negotiations. I'm heartened to learn of a possible cease fire proposal. 
However, any cease fire must ensure an end to the terrorist attacks by 
Hamas.
