The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 18 1991 - Page 5 Happy B irthday Israel! A Message from Your American Friends on Your 43rd Birthday Dear Israel: In the past 43 years you have built cities out of the wilderness and gardens out of the desert sands. You have taken in refugees from across the globe, going out of your way to rescue your pnaersecuted and destitute sisters and brothers in Yemen, li, Ethiopia and the Soviet Union. Undaunted by your overwhelming task, you eagerly awaited the arrival of two hundred thousand of these refugees this year alone, quick to provide them with the hospitality and support needed to absorb those weary from the boot of oppression. In addition, you have reaffirmed the bonds between all humanity by freely donating your knowledge of arid farming techniques in such places as Kenya and Texas. You have treated children suffering from the horrible effects of the Chernobyl nuclear accident with the same compassion with which you have helped Egyptian refugees flee the scourge of war in the Persian Gulf. You have, at all times, been a loyal friend and ally of the United States. We offer you our best wishes and our deepest congratula- tions on your 43rd birthday. May your future birthdays be filled with prosperity and peace. 1 « Members of the United States Senate Bill Bradley (D-NJ) Bill Cohen (R-ME) Alan Dixon (D-IL) Christopher Dodd (D-CT) Phil Gramm (R-TX) Howell Heflin (D-AL) Bob Kasten (R-WI) Connie Mack (R-FL) Daniel Moynihan (D-NY) Donald Riegle (D-MI) Paul Simon (D-IL) Strom Thurmond (R-SC) Members of the United States House of Representatives Frank Annunzio (D-IL) Chet Atkins (1)-MA) Helen Bentley (D-M D) Howard Berman (D-CA) Bill Broomfield (R-MI) Albert Bustamante (D-TX) Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) Robert Dornan (R-CA) Dante Fascell (1)-FL) Harris Fawell (R-IL) J.
