  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join my colleagues in wishing 
the President of Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian, congratulations and happy 
third anniversary in office. He has provided leadership to his people 
in maintaining economic and political growth for his country.
  We in the United States appreciate the relationship we continue to 
develop with Taiwan. In the months and years ahead, I hope this 
relationship will grow even stronger.
  Congratulations, President Chen.
