                   RECOGNIZING TAIWAN'S NATIONAL DAY

                                 ______

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to take a moment before the 
Congress adjourns for the year to congratulate our friends and allies 
in the Republic of China as they prepare to celebrate their National 
Day on October 10.
  As my colleagues know, the Taiwanese people recently made history as 
they successfully and peacefully held the first Democratic elections in 
over 4,000 years of Chinese history. President Lee Teng Hui and the 
people of the Republic of China are to be commended for that landmark 
achievement.
  I join with my colleagues in the Congress and my many Taiwanese-
American friends in Cincinnati and around the country in congratulating 
the people of the Republic of China on this, the 85th anniversary of 
their National Day.
