  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Madam Speaker, on the occasion of Taiwan's National 
Day, I would like to join my colleagues in wishing Taiwan and its 
people many happy returns and especially an early return to the United 
Nations.
  In recent decades, Taiwan has impressed the world with its economic 
development and progress in the areas of human rights and political 
freedom. Taiwan has also been a partner with the United States in our 
global war against terror.
  Best wishes to Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian and Taiwan 
Representative in Washington, Dr. Joseph Wu. Representative Wu has 
impressed everyone on the Hill with his knowledge, industry and 
professional demeanor.
