Speaker Pelosi. Mr. President, it is an official honor as Speaker of the House to welcome you to the United States Capitol. It is a personal pleasure for me to do so, as one who has admired your leadership for such a time.
The last time we were together was in – right before COVID struck. We were in Yad Vashem in Jerusalem to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It was a historic event, attended by kings and presidents and prime ministers and the rest at your invitation – at your invitation. I was honored to bring a bipartisan delegation to be with you to pay our respects.
