                    REPUBLIC OF CHINA'S NATIONAL DAY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. EARL F. HILLIARD

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 2, 1996

  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, in recent years, the Republic of China on 
Taiwan has emerged as a major economic power in the world. Much of this 
economic success is directly attributable to the efforts of its 
leaders: President Li Teng-hui, Vice President Lien Chan and Foreign 
Minister John H. Chang. These leaders fully understand that a strong 
economy is a necessary basis for political reform.
  Mr. Speaker, let us show our admiration for our friends in the 
Republic of China by congratulating them on their 85th National Day--
October 10, 1996. Let us also warmly welcome Ambassador Jason Hu, the 
Republic of China's representative in Washington, DC. We look forward 
to working with him.
