                         Tuesday, June 20, 1995
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in a day when crime and 
juvenile delinquency are growing concerns internationally, I would like 
to commend a group of outstanding young people who are striving to set 
a new standard of strong moral character and social good works in our 
Nation and around the world. Among these young people are the 130 
individuals below who recently traveled to Taiwan, and the Republic of 
China, to represent positive qualities before government leaders, in 
public meetings, and most importantly of all, in presentations to and 
personal conversations with over 14,000 Chinese students. The youth 
named below traveled to the Republic of China on April 1, 1995 and 
visited the cities of Taichung, Taipei, and Kaoshiung before departing 
on April 17, 1995. The leaders with whom they met included Dr. Ma Ying-
Jeou, the Minister of Justice, R.O.C.; Dr. Yung Chao-Hsiang, Political 
Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education R.O.C.; Dr. Hwang Jen-Tai, 
Administrative Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education, R.O.C.; 
Mr. Wu Den-Yih, Mayor of Kaohsiaung; Mr. Wu Ying-Jang, Commissioner of 
the Bureau of Education of Taipei; Dr. Wu Chung-Lih, Deputy Director of 
the Government Information Office, R.O.C.; Dr. Li Tchong-Koei and Dr. 
Jeng Sen-Shyong, President and Vice President of the China Youth Corps 
with the directors of their cabinet; Dr. Chen Chien-Chin, Speaker of 
the House for the Taipei City Council; and various other educational 
leaders of all three cities. In the course of these contacts, 
invitations were extended for additional groups of these young people 
to come to Taiwan, The Republic of China and initiate long-term 
projects with Chinese youth and families.
