She helped one community in particular for years. And without disclosing much of who she was or where she came from. One day she finally let the syrian commander know that she was an israeli. He was stunned. And right then and there, refused her help, calling her a sworn enemy, despite the lives she had saved and the selfless assistance she had given his people. Luckily, she was not willing to be easily deterred. She took it to the community for a vote. If they said go she would pack up. If they said stay she would continue to serve. They begged her to stay. So she did. Mr. President , this is your legacy. Every bit as integral to isr

Thank you, senator. The bureau of Counselor Affairs is kocontinuing to look into whether video can be used. We understand the allure and the attraction of the video interviewing idea. We have serious concerns about the security efficiency and integrity of video interviewing.
