           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims that the Legislature 
          joins Taiwanese communities throughout California in 
          celebrating Taiwanese American Heritage Week; declares that 
          warm relations and bilateral exchange between California 
          and Taiwan should grow; supports the goals of Taiwanese 
          American Heritage Week; and recognizes the profound 
          importance of Taiwanese Americans to California. 

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings: 

          1.The United States and Taiwan share common ideas and a 
            vision for a healthy, peaceful, and democratic 21st 
            century; and frequent exchanges, including exchanges at 
            the highest level of government, contribute to broadening 
            the friendship and cooperation between California and 
            Taiwan. 

          2.Taiwanese Americans have made great contributions to help 
                                                           CONTINUED

            shape our state and world; and Taiwanese Americans have 
            also impacted and shaped the social fabric of our state 
            and nation. 

          3.President Bill Clinton first acknowledged, in a letter to 
            the Taiwanese community in May 1999, the celebration of 
            Taiwanese American Heritage Week during the first week of 
            May; and May 2012 will mark the 14th annual Taiwanese 
            American Heritage Week national celebration.
