William O. Lipinski: “I am pleased to announce that on August 14th Brookfield Zoo will celebrate the grand opening of its newest attraction…”

I invite all my colleagues to join me in celebrating the opening of the Salt Creek Wilderness exhibit, which, I am certain, will greatly strengthen the zoo's mission.

With the assistance of these project partners, the new exhibit will help to raise awareness of the importance of protecting not just animals in other parts of the world, but also species and natural habitats in our own communities.

I also salute Representative Chen for his patriotism, dedication, and friendship.

I wish to salute the 23 million people who live in the prosperous democracy on Taiwan.
