     IN HONOR OF THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN)

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. DONNA M. CHRISTENSEN

                           of virgin islands

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2012

  Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Speaker, on Taiwan's National Day (October 10, 
2012), I am pleased to take this opportunity to wish the leaders and 
people of Taiwan many happy returns. I look forward to continued bi-
lateral relations between Taiwan and the United States of America.
  Also, I would like to bid a personal farewell to Taiwan Ambassador, 
Mr. Jason Yuan. He has been reassigned as Taiwan's Secretary-General of 
the National Security Council. During his last four years in 
Washington, DC, Ambassador Yuan has been instrumental in fostering the 
strong relationship between the Taiwanese people and the Government of 
the United States. I wish Ambassador Yuan and his family best wishes 
and a smooth transition in his new position, and I thank him for his 
service.
