president's second anniversary in office on May 20, 1998. President Lee 
Teng-hui, a Taiwan-born statesman, should be commended for his 
leadership and vision for his country.
  President Lee's leadership lies in his ability to rally his 21 
million compatriots into believing that the course Taiwan has chosen to 
take, economic and political, is right for them. President Lee has 
convinced them that their future lies in free trade and private 
enterprise as well as in full democracy. With the help of his 
compatriots, President Lee will lead the Republic of China to ever 
greater economic prosperity at home and international recognition 
abroad.
  On the occasion of President Lee's second anniversary in office, I 
wish President Lee godspeed and good fortune.
