Dear Friends:

Mrs. Lantos and I are honored to extend our most enthusiastic endorsement of Taiwanese American Heritage Week.  I am delighted to support this very special occasion dedicated to recognize and appreciate the aspects of Taiwanese American Heritage in the United States and in California.

I share the enjoyment of celebrating and paying tribute to those who have enriched every aspect of the Taiwanese culture with their talent, intellect, and activism.

Congratulations on the enormous contributions Taiwanese American have made to the diversity and prosperity of American society.  I wish you all a wonderful time as you celebrate this joyous week of Heritage in the Bay Area.

Sincerely,

Tom Lantos
