Supporting the goals of Taiwanese American Heritage Week, and for other 
                               purposes.

Whereas May 11-18, 2002, marks the third annual Taiwanese American Heritage

Whereas the annual Taiwanese American Heritage Week celebration is a vehicle to 
        create awareness and promote the image and welfare of Taiwanese 
        Americans in the United States;
Whereas Taiwanese American Heritage Week helps enhance a mutual understanding 
        and consolidation among different generations of Taiwanese Americans;
Whereas the Taiwanese American community strongly supports democracy, human 
        rights, and the rule of law;
Whereas Taiwan is committed to the principles of freedom, justice, and 
        democracy, as evidenced by Taiwan's free and open contests in local, 
        legislative, and presidential elections;
Whereas frequent exchanges, including exchanges at the highest level of 
        government, contribute to broadening the friendship and cooperation 
        between the United States and Taiwan; and
Whereas the United States and Taiwan share common ideals and a vision for a 
        peaceful and democratic 21st century: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) declares that the warm relations and bilateral exchange 
        between the people of the United States and Taiwan should grow; 
        and
            (2) supports the goals of Taiwanese American Heritage Week 
        and recognizes the profound importance of Taiwanese Americans 
        to the United States.
