Looked like a pretty full house, tho was a 'joint' session, so 2 'houses' squeezed into 1 chamber.

Sitting in the packed gallery of the House chamber were Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor and Nobel peace laureate; Sheldon G. Adelson, the Republican casino magnate and one of Mr. Netanyahu’s prime backers; and Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was out of the country, so standing next to Speaker John A. Boehner behind the Israeli prime minister was Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the Utah Republican who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate.
