| 0:08.5 | Here's John Batchelor. |
| 0:11.7 | Malcolm Holine Conference of President's major American Jewish organizations. |
| 0:16.4 | joins me as my colleague and co-host, |
| 0:18.4 | and we're very pleased to welcome the ambassador from the |
| 0:21.9 | State of Israel to the United States, Mr. Liter, who is here to help us understand the events |
