                      Wednesday, December 5, 2012

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I speak today in grateful appreciation for the 
strong gesture of generosity and humanity by the people and government 
of the Republic of China, Taiwan, for their donation of $1.3 million 
for the Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. The Taiwanese donation will 
be received by the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, as 
well as Habitat for Humanity and United Way International.
  Although a small amount compared to the damage from the storm, it is 
a symbol of the true friendship and solidarity between the Taiwanese 
and American people. My sincere thanks and appreciation to the people 
and government of the Republic of China, Taiwan for this aid in our 
time of need.
