I wish to express my support for and confidence in the growing relations between the United States and Republic of Korea. I am particularly proud of the efforts of officials in Yankton, SD, who are encouraging diplomatic ties between my home State of South Dakota and the Republic of Korea. Yankton leaders are working to make Yankton a sister city with Kangnung City of the Republic of Korea. I believe that Yankton and Kangnung, as growing tourist centers in their respective nations, will become excellent sister cities. I have also extended a personal invitation to the mayor and city council chairman of Kangnung City to visit Yankton in support of the sister city efforts. I applaud the efforts of Mr. Milo Dailey, a Yankton resident, who traveled to the Republic of Korea as a liaison between the people and city government of Yankton and the people of the Republic of Korea. Milo's hard work, dedication, and sincerity are commendable. His efforts are designed to promote diplomacy and good will.
