[EX Q]: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Shimon Peres was born in Poland in 1923.
(2) The Peres family emigrated to Tel Aviv in 1934, and all
of the family members of Shimon Peres who remained in Poland
were murdered during the Holocaust.
(3) Before Israel gained independence, Shimon Peres earned
the respect of senior leaders in the independence movement in
Israel, most notably David Ben-Gurion.
(4) The founding generation of Israel was central to the
development of Israel, and Shimon Peres is the only surviving
member of that founding generation.
(5) Shimon Peres has served in numerous high-level cabinet
positions and ministerial posts in Israel, including head of
the Israeli Navy, Minister of Defense, Foreign Minister, Prime
Minister, and President, among many others.
(6) Shimon Peres has honorably served Israel for over 70
years, during which he has significantly contributed to United
States interests and has played a pivotal role in forging the
strong and unbreakable bond between the United States and
Israel.
(7) By presenting the Congressional Gold Medal to Shimon
Peres, the first to be awarded to a sitting President of
Israel, Congress proclaims its unbreakable bond with Israel and
reaffirms its continual support for Israel as we commemorate
the 65th anniversary of the independence of Israel and the 90th
birthday of Shimon Peres, which are both significant milestones
in Israeli history.
(8) Maintaining strong bilateral relations between the
United States and Israel has been a priority of Shimon Peres
since he began working with the United States in the days of
John F. Kennedy. The strong bond is exemplified by the
following:
(A) President Reagan said to Shimon Peres upon his
visit to the United States, ''Mr. Prime Minister, I
thank you very much for your visit. It's been an
occasion to renew a friendship and to review and
enhance the strength of our unique bilateral
relationship.''
(B) At another point President Reagan said of
Shimon Peres, ''His vision, his statesmanship and his
tenacity are greatly appreciated here.''
(C) While visiting with Shimon Peres at the
Residence of the President in Jerusalem, President
Obama described Shimon Peres as ''. . . a son of Israel
who's devoted his life to keeping Israel strong and
sustaining the bonds between our two nations''.
(D) On March 20, 2013, Shimon Peres reaffirmed his
belief in the relationship between the United States
and Israel, stating, ''America stood by our side from
the very beginning. You support us as we rebuild our
ancient homeland and as we defend our land. From
Holocaust to redemption.''
(E) On March 21, 2013, Shimon Peres stated, ''. . .
America is so great and we are so small. But I learned
that you don't measure us by size, but by values. When
it comes to values, we are you and you are us. . . . As
I look back, I feel that the Israel of today has
exceeded the vision we had 65 years ago. Reality has
surpassed our dreams. The United States of America
helped us to make this possible.''
