                FAREWELL TO THE HONORABLE MOU-SHIH DING

                                 ______


                          HON. BILL RICHARDSON

                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 3, 1994

  Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct my colleagues 
attention to the departure of our dear friend Mou-Shih Ding, 
Representative to the United States from Taiwan. During Director Din's 
tenure as head of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, 
he ably guided Taiwan's continued economic, social, and political 
development. I believe that Director Ding's strong leadership has 
greatly contributed to Taiwan's place as the 14th largest trading 
nation in the world and he will surely be missed by his friends here in 
Congress. Director Ding will continue to serve his country as Secretary 
General to the National Security Council where he will resume working 
for warm relations between the United States and Taiwan.
  I would also like to extend a sincere welcome to the Honorable 
Benjamin Lu, who will replace Director Ding as the head of Taiwan's 
Coordination Council. Representative Lu has had a long and 
distinguished career in Taiwan's foreign service. As the past director 
of Taiwan's Economic Affairs Division in the United States, he 
possesses the insight and experience critical for this most important 
post. I, along with my colleagues, look forward to building upon the 
continued good relations between the United States Congress and the 
people of Taiwan.
