                       HON. ROBERT F. (BOB) SMITH

                               of oregon

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 23, 1994

  Mr. SMITH of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Republic 
of China's 83d National Day on October 10, 1994. Taiwan is a full 
democracy and its people enjoy a high standard of living. I wish 
Republic of China's leaders--President Li Teng-hui and Vice President 
Li Yuan-zu--good luck and good fortune in the years ahead as they 
campaign for greater international recognition and U.N. membership.
  At the same time, I wish to take this occasion to bid a fond farewell 
to Ambassador Mou-shih Ding, who has returned to Taipei as the 
Secretary General of the Republic of China's National Security Council. 
His successor, Ambassador Benjamin Lu, a seasoned diplomat, will 
certainly continue to strengthen the good relations between Taipei and 
Washington.
