“In closing, I would like to share with the body that I led a delegation to Taipei this last summer, and I was there when Taiwan pledged to donate $800,000 in disaster relief to Houston. That was in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. It is generous actions like this that I can think of, 80 occasions, that remind us again and again that Taiwan is a positive actor in the international community, and that is why we must continue to support Taiwan's international standing and well-being. So I would like to say in closing that I thank my colleagues for being original cosponsors on this bill. In addition to Mr. Yoho and myself, I want to thank Mr. Engel. And I want to thank Mr. Sherman. I want to thank the gentleman for his leadership on this issue, and Mr. Connolly as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
