CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE OF TAIWAN ON THE OCCASION OF THE REPUBLIC
OF CHINA'S 89TH NATIONAL DAY
______
HON. EVA M. CLAYTON
of north carolina
in the house of representatives
Thursday, October 5, 2000
Mrs. CLAYTON. Mr. Speaker, on the eve of the Republic of China's 89th
National Day, I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing our friends in
Taiwan a most happy and enjoyable National Day.
Mr. Speaker, like many of my colleagues and me, there are countless
people across this nation who applaud the economic and political
accomplishments of our friends in Taiwan.
Mr. Speaker, I truly wish there were more nations in the world
following Taiwan's example of unprecedented economic success and rapid
democratization; Taiwan is indeed the shining model that all developing
nations in the world should seek to emulate. I am certain, Mr. Speaker,
that many of my colleagues, given the opportunity, would express the
same sentiment.
I am pleased for this opportunity to extend every good wish to the
people of Taiwan and its leaders.
