  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my constituents I want 
to take this opportunity to extend to Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian, 
and the good people of Taiwan, our congratulations on their National 
Day.
  President Chen is to be commended for his capable and skilled 
leadership, which is reflected by Taiwan's high standards of living and 
political reforms.
  President Chen is to be further commended for his efforts seeking 
greater international understanding and harmony in the region. Taiwan 
and the United States share a long lasting friendship that has extended 
for over five decades.
  Mr. Speaker, on Taiwan's National Day, I join my colleagues in the 
United States Congress to salute and honor the 23 million citizens of 
Taiwan. I join with all Americans who take pride in the many 
accomplishments of the Taiwanese people.
