                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 22, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, on May 20, 1997, the people of Taiwan 
celebrated President Lee Teng-hui's first anniversary in office.
  Lee Teng-hui, the ninth President of the Republic of China on Taiwan, 
is a Cornell-educated statesman, who strongly believes in economic and 
political growth. During his years in office, first as the appointed 
President and later as the first elected President in the history of 
the Republic of China, he has given the people of Taiwan confidence in 
themselves and the hope of an even better tomorrow.
  President Lee is a leader with vision. Thanks to him, the people of 
Taiwan are able to enjoy high standards of living and personal 
freedoms, privileges unknown to their brethren on the Chinese mainland.
  Congratulations to the people of Taiwan.
