Dear Dr Lei:

Greetings from Assemblywoman Valerie Weber of the Nevada State Assembly:

On April 28, 2005, the Nevada Legislature delivered Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 25 commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the sister-state relationship between the State of Nevada and the Republic of China on Taiwan. This Resolution was approved unanimously by both the Assembly and the Senate of the State of Nevada. I was pleased to convey friendly remarks and memories of my own trip to Taiwan as well as present this Resolution in the Assembly to honor our continued friendship and mutual economic growth between Nevada and the Republic of China on Taiwan.

As part of this most important ceremony, incoming Director General Mark W. P. Liao and Consular Officer Jenny H. C. Kuo, of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in San Francisco, were both present to accept ACR 25 in both the Assembly and Senate Chambers.

In addition, we presented ACR 26 that honored Mr Matthew Lee as the outgoing Director General of the San Francisco office who successfully guided this office for three years. He is a good friend to the state of Nevada. We wish him well in his new role as Representative to the Taipei Mission to Latvia.

We included remarks about Mr Mark Liao, the new incoming Director and proclaimed his outstanding educational and experiential background he brings to his new role. I look forward to working with him to continue our friendship and mutual economic interests.

After the ceremony, the past delegates to Taiwan were treated to a wonderful Chinese lunch by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office. It was a lovely treat to reconnect with friends from previous journeys to Taiwan.

As my friends, I would be delighted to send you official copies of these resolutions, suitable for framing. If you would like a copy of one or both Resolutions please contact my office and I would be honored to send you one.

In continued friendship,

Valerie E. Weber

To Whom It May Concern:
I watched in horror these past several days like so many other Nevadans, Americans and friends in the international community the results of great devastation from the earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean countries. My heartfelt concern goes out to those families experiencing loss during this recent disaster in Southeast Asia including Thailand amongst others.

I called Dr. Tony Lei this morning and was inspired that through Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) our concern for the Thai people could be shared through the local Chinese newspaper.

I understand that "Next Weekly" is a Chinese newspaper that emphasizes the importance of literature and education to its enthusiastic readers and has the largest circulation amongst six Chinese newspapers in the southwest United States.

Again, let me express my deeply felt sorrow for the people in affected countries in Southeast Asia; you are in our prayers and relief efforts.

Most Sincerely,

Valerie E Weber
