WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the members of the Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce and
to join them in celebrating May 8, 2013, as Texas-Israel Day at
the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The people of Texas and the people of Israel share
many values and interests, and the growing business between the
two plays an important role in their respective economies; and

longstanding friendship and to foster an even closer
relationship; now, therefore, be it
