                          Friday, May 13, 2011

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the third 
anniversary of the inauguration of Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou on 
May 20, 2011. His efforts to improve the relationship between the 
Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China are most 
admirable.
  Taiwan has become a stable beacon of democracy and is an important 
U.S. trade partner. We should seek to encourage and strengthen the 
U.S.-Taiwanese strategic relationship and recognize the importance of 
preserving peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait as a vital U.S. 
interest.
  I would like to acknowledge President Ma's efforts and wish him all 
the best on the third anniversary of his inauguration.
