                           SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, this week marks 45 years of the 
Taiwan Relations Act, which has strengthened our partnership with our 
friends in Taiwan and shaped U.S. foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific.
  Taiwan is a trusted partner in freedom, democracy, trade, security, 
and global health.
  As chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee 
on Indo-Pacific, I have been working to ensure the United States 
supports Taiwan. I led the Taiwan WHO Act to support Taiwan's 
participation in the World Health Organization and the World Health 
Assembly, and the Taiwan Nondiscrimination Act to give Taiwan a seat at 
the table in the International Monetary Fund.
  I also led the Arms Exports Delivery Solutions Act, which became law 
through the NDAA, to track and ensure delivery of backlogged arms sales 
to Taiwan.
  Our partnership with Taiwan is more important than ever.
