                    CONGRATULATIONS TO JASON C. YUAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RANDY HULTGREN

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2012

  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Taiwan's Ambassador 
to the United States, Jason C. Yuan, for his service in the United 
States and his recent appointment as Taiwan's National Security 
Advisor.
  I also would like to wish Taiwan a happy anniversary for her upcoming 
anniversary on October 10th. Known as double ten day, this will mark 
Taiwan's 101st year.
  With so much turmoil in the world today, the region along the Taiwan 
Strait is one of the important places where hostilities are decreasing. 
Taiwan has forged constructive partnerships with China, and there is a 
working peace between the two countries. Much of this can be credited 
to President Ma's leadership and the policies he has instilled.
  Since President Ma became president, there have been numerous daily 
flights between the two countries, large increases in tourism between 
China and Taiwan, and a pooling of joint resources to reduce crime 
along the Taiwan Strait.
  Happy anniversary to Taiwan, and thanks to President Ma for his part 
in maintaining peace and stability in Southeast Asia.
