                        TRIBUTE TO LYUSHUN SHEN

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, in the coming weeks, Representative Lyushun 
Shen from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office will 
be leaving his post and returning to Taiwan. Having worked with 
Representative Shen during his tenure in Washington DC, I would like to 
express my gratitude to him for his service.
  As West Africa battled the ravages of Ebola and the world united to 
help address the epidemic in 2014, Representative Shen and the 
Taiwanese rose to the occasion. On behalf of the Taiwanese, 
Representative Shen pledged $1 million to the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention to help the U.S. combat the Ebola virus and 
stabilize the region. This act of generosity came at a critical time 
and further demonstrated Taiwan's solidarity with the United States.
  During his post in Washington, Representative Shen made important 
contributions to the Global Cooperation and Training Framework, GCTF. 
Representative Shen is a valued friend of the United States, and I 
thank him for his work and wish him well in all his future endeavors.
