 CELEBRATING THE 190TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TREATY OF AMITY AND COMMERCE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Steel) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 190th 
anniversary

of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce, the first treaty between the 
United States and Thailand.
  In fact, the historic agreement is distinguished as the first treaty 
between the United States and any Asian country.
  Since its establishment, the relationship and cooperation between our 
two nations has thrived, providing benefits to both of our economies 
and national security.
  That is why earlier this month I introduced the bipartisan resolution 
reaffirming our gratitude for our partnership and our continued 
commitment to building our friendship.
  As we celebrate the anniversary of the historic treaty of 1833, let 
us also reaffirm our efforts to strengthen our strategic partnerships, 
promote democracy, and secure our interests in Asia and around the 
world.
