  Mr. ORTIZ. Mr. Speaker, for many years now, I have joined my 
colleagues in congratulating the leaders of the Republic of China (ROC) 
on their National Day, on associated anniversaries, and other special 
occasions.
  Today I congratulate President Lee Teng-hui on completing 3 years in 
office. President Lee is an energetic man who is moving forward on a 
number of diplomatic fronts to engage Taiwan as an emerging democracy 
and economic Pacific power.
  In the years ahead, I hope that Taiwan will continue to enjoy its 
prosperity and freedom.
