      SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.J. RES. 76--NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY 
       ADMINISTRATION CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS RESOLUTION, 2014

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. JOHN J. DUNCAN, JR.

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 1, 2014

  Mr. DUNCAN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I voted for the supplemental 
appropriations bill to provide additional funding for the Iron Dome for 
Israel.
  Hamas should not have been shooting rockets into Israel, and Israel 
certainly has a right to defend itself.
  However, it is heartbreaking to me to read and hear about all the 
little children in Gaza who have been killed or injured. And it is very 
sad to see pictures and news reports of frightened little children 
laying in the hospital with serious injuries.
  As I did on the floor a few days ago, I once again plead with 
officials in Israel, Gaza, the U.N. and the U.S. to work together to 
get small children away from the bombs and out of harm's way.
  Even if the fighting for some unfortunate reason has to continue, I 
hope we can at least save some of the little children.
