                          TAIWAN'S NATIONAL DAY

                                 ______


                         HON. EARL F. HILLIARD

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, October 10, 1994, will be the 83d National 
Day of the Republic of China, and I wish to express my congratulations 
and best wishes to President Lee Teng-Hui. I am pleased to note that 
for during the last 6 years, the Republic of China on Taiwan, under the 
leadership of former Ambassador Mou-Shih Ding, has maintained good 
relations with Capitol Hill. I am confident that my colleagues and I 
will work closely with Ambassador Ding's successor, Ambassador Benjamin 
Lu. Ambassador Lu is a veteran diplomat who was the R.O.C.'s Ambassador 
to Belgium. Between 1982 and 1988, he was the Director of the Economic 
Division of the Coordinating Council for North American Affairs in 
Washington, DC.
  I trust that all of us who serve in the Congress will take the time 
to meet with Ambassador Lu, and hear his reasons of why the Republic of 
China deserves a seat in the United Nations, as well as why restoring 
diplomatic relations between our two great nations is important.
