RECOGNIZING TAIWAN AS A TRUSTED LEADER IN FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, AND TRADE

  (Mrs. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, today marks 46 years since the Taiwan 
Relations Act became law.
  This landmark bill has strengthened the partnership with Taiwan and 
shaped America's foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific region.
  I will recognize that Taiwan is a trusted leader in freedom, 
democracy, and trade, and is also a needed partner in security against 
shared threats.
  As chairwoman of the East Asia and Pacific Subcommittee, I have 
worked on bipartisan bills to give Taiwan a rightful seat at the table 
in international organizations, such as WHO and IMF. I led the charge 
to track and ensure efficient delivery of weapons that Taiwan has 
purchased from the United States.
  This year, I introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill to enhance U.S.-
Taiwan economic and trade ties. Our partnership with Taiwan is more 
important than ever.
