Quotes From Texas-Israel Supporters
"I want Texas to become the preferred location for Israeli companies doing business in the U.S. Like Texas, Israel has a long history of growing new technology companies through partnerships that include universities, government and private investors and entrepreneurs. Strengthening relationships between these two 'Lone Star States' will benefit our respective economies and increase understanding."
Texas Governor Rick Perry, September 25, 2007
"Texas and Israel share a lot in common, so a close working relationship between businesses in Texas and businesses in Israel will enhance friendship between the nation of Israel and the great nation of the United States. I look forward to this relationship leading to increased commerce between Israel and Texas and I thank you, Terry, for your tireless efforts that led to the success of this business-to-business association as the Texas Israel Chamber Association brought together the Governor's office, your Chamber's members, Israel's businesses and Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade."
Shimon Peres, President of the State of Israel, speaking to Chamber Chairman Terry Anderson
"Cooperation with our organization and the Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce should serve as an effective platform to promote trade between the two States."
Tamar Guy, Executive Director of the Israel-America Chamber of Commerce
