                        Friday, October 6, 2000

  Mr. ORTIZ. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my constituents I wish to extend 
my best wishes and congratulations to the people of the Republic of 
China on the occasion of their forthcoming national day.
  The Republic of China on Taiwan is a genuine democracy and its people 
enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. It is my 
belief that the story of Taiwan needs to be told again and again.
  Meanwhile, best of luck to president Chen Shui-Bian of the Republic 
of China.
