                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CORRINE BROWN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 24, 1997

  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on the eve of Taiwan's 86th 
National Day, I wish to pay tribute to President Lee Teng-hui, who has 
recently completed an arduous Latin-American trip to shore up his 
country's relations with a number of Latin-American countries. 
President Lee is one of the hardest working heads of state in our time. 
Also, I would like to commend President Lee for having selected Dr. 
Jason Hu as his new Foreign Minister.
  Dr. Hu is currently Taiwan's representative in Washington. During his 
tenure in Washington, Dr. Hu has impressed us with his diplomatic 
skills. In his new capacity as Taiwan's Foreign Minister, Dr. Hu will 
no doubt use his talents to the utmost in promoting his country's 
diplomatic interests around the world.
  Taiwan faces a number of diplomatic challenges, but with President 
Lee's leadership and Dr. Hu's stewardship in the Foreign Ministry, I 
trust Taiwan's diplomatic fortunes will soon improve.
