Utah Representative John Curtis [R] chose an original way to mark the 40th anniversary of the signature of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty on Thursday when he presented Congress with a framed edition of the Jerusalem Post from March 27, 1979.
Rep. John Curtis holds up a copy of The Jerusalem Post (!!) 1979 edition marking treaty signing between Israel and Egypt during hearing with SOS Pompeo about prospects for peace in the Middle East. Curtis said he was 19 living in Israel, saved the paper and framed it.
