To congratulate the Republic of China on Taiwan on the occasion of its 
                first Presidential democratic election.

Whereas the Chinese people have the world's oldest continuous civilization;
Whereas for the first time in over 4,000 years of Chinese history, the Chinese 
        people on Taiwan will elect its president by popular vote on March 23, 
        1996; and
Whereas this historic event on Taiwan should be honored: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That--
            (1) the Congress congratulates the people of Taiwan on 
        holding the first democratic presidential election in Chinese 
        history;
            (2) the United States continues its commitment to move 
        nations toward freedom and democracy; and
            (3) the United States is committed to encouraging and 
        protecting its democratic friends on Taiwan, within the 
        framework of the Taiwan Relations Act.
