                   IN HONOR OF TAIWAN'S NATIONAL DAY

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. GEORGE HOLDING

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 10, 2013

  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, I rise to join Taiwan in celebrating its 
National Day.
  The United States and Taiwan enjoy a long, enduring relationship. Our 
partnership, codified in the Taiwan Relations Act, has been of great 
benefit to both our nations. Earlier this year, I was pleased to 
support legislation which was signed into law, that encourages Taiwan's 
participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization.
  To further our relationship, I support more bilateral exchanges 
between our two nations and would encourage my colleagues to 
familiarize themselves with the cultural and economic benefits that 
this relationship has produced.
  Once again Mr. Speaker I rise to congratulate Taiwan on its National 
Day and I am confident that the close relationship between United 
States and Taiwan will continue for many years to come.
