Mr. Speaker, the mutual relationship between the United States and Taiwan--enshrined in the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 and reinforced by the Six Assurances of 1982--has endured, due to our shared beliefs in democratic government, freedom of expression, the rule of law, and a market economy. It is my hope that this relationship will continue to deepen and strengthen in all areas. I hope the Trump administration will move expeditiously with a military sales package that will help to guarantee Taiwan's security and freedom for the future. The people of Taiwan have great friends in the people of the United States. I know many of my colleagues will join me in expressing our shared desire to work together with our friends on the old and new challenges that Taiwan faces. Mr. Speaker, I wish President Tsai and the people of Taiwan all the best on their first anniversary of her administration. ____________________
