                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 18, 2014

  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today with the people of 
the Republic of China (Taiwan) as they celebrate their upcoming 
National Day on October 10th.
  I visited Taiwan as a state legislator and often welcome its 
representatives to Las Vegas and to my Washington, DC office. With the 
expansion of the Visa Waiver Program to include Taiwan, we hope to 
continue to welcome more Taiwanese tourists and business travelers to 
Las Vegas.
  Nevada's First Congressional District is home to a vibrant Taiwanese 
American Community that enhances our local culture.
  I am proud to consider myself a friend of Taiwan. The relationship 
between our two nations has been strong over the past century. This 
mutually beneficial partnership relationship has strengthened and 
enriched our economic, political, and cultural ties.
  It should be fostered and promoted in the coming years.
  I congratulate the people of Taiwan on the occasion of their National 
Day and join them in their celebration.
