  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I wish to join my colleagues in wishing 
the people of Taiwan the very best as they mark their National Day on 
October 10, 2001.
  The people of Taiwan have demonstrated their dedication to human 
rights, political freedom, and democracy as they have consistently 
remained an important ally of the United States. Taiwan has expressed 
its support of and grief for the tragic events of September 11th and 
has indicated they will spare no effort in helping America win the war 
against international terrorism. We are deeply appreciative of their 
continued friendship as we extend to the people and government of the 
Republic of China on Taiwan our best wishes on this day of national 
celebration for our close ally.
