  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ambassador Jason C. Yuan on his recent appointment as the 
Taiwan Representative to the United States. Ambassador Yuan's 
extraordinary career of diplomatic service spans more than 40 years. 
His previous assignments include Assistant and Acting Naval Attach, 
Embassy of the Republic of China in the United States; Representative, 
Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada; Ambassador of the 
Republic of China to Panama; Director General, Taipei Economic and 
Cultural Office in Los Angeles; and Vice Chair, Non Government 
Organization Affairs Committee, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic 
of China. Ambassador Yuan's distinguished career has been marked by 
numerous awards including the Scholarship Medal and twice the recipient 
of the Foreign Service Medal. Through his extensive experience in 
fostering goodwill among nations combined with his admirable sense of 
duty and commitment to diplomatic service, I say with the utmost of 
confidence that Mr. Yuan will be a valuable asset to this relationship. 
I applaud Ambassador Yuan's appointment to this assignment and look 
forward to working with him for years to come.
