President Bill Clinton To Deliver Keynote Address
Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa will be honored Wednesday evening, February 13 by the American Friends of the Yitzhak Rabin Center with its annual Israel Legacy Award. President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker.
The award recognizes the historic, critical and extraordinary contributions of the Teamsters Union, Hoffa and his father James R. Hoffa to Israel as it fought for its independence. For example, the Teamsters transported food, medical supplies and arms to Israeli freedom fighters.
The event will raise funds for the completion of a 1,200-square-foot museum in the fall at the Rabin Center in Tel Aviv to commemorate Israel's 60th anniversary. The Rabin Center, the presidential library established in memory of the prime minister who was assassinated in 1995, will dedicate a permanent memorial to the elder Hoffa and the Teamsters at the museum's War of Independence exhibit.
