                         Tuesday, May 18, 1999

  Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, I wish to offer my congratulations to 
President Lee Teng-hui of the Republic of China on Taiwan, as Taiwan 
celebrates the third anniversary of his presence in office on May 20, 
1999.
  President Lee Teng-hui is the leader of the other China--The Republic 
of China on Taiwan, a country of 21 million hardworking Chinese 
citizens who subscribe to an American style of democracy--free 
elections, respect for human rights and a free enterprise system.
  Mr. Speaker, under President Lee's leadership Taiwan is a world-class 
nation and its citizens enjoy one of the highest standards of living in 
the world.
  As Chinese mainland students continue to demonstrate against the 
United States, let's not forget our friends on Taiwan who have been our 
ally and partner throughout their history.
  Mr. Speaker, once again I congratulate President Lee as he celebrates 
his third anniversary in office. He has done a wonderful job for his 
country and his people.

                          ____________________
