        Secretary-General to President Lee Teng-hui;
Whereas Representative Chen's many years of service in the United States include 
        appointments as Taiwan's Consul-General in Atlanta from 1973 to 1979 and

        Chicago from 1980 to 1982 and Los Angeles from 1988 to 1989;
Whereas Representative Chen has served with distinction as Taiwan's senior

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
