                          HON. JOE SCARBOROUGH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 1999

  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, Taiwan, known as the Republic of China, 
will be marking its President's third anniversary in office on May 20, 
1999. 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 understanding that the course Taiwan has 
chosen, both economically and politically, 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, while achieving international 
recognition abroad.
  On the occasion of the President's third anniversary in office, I 
wish President Lee Godspeed and good fortune.
