SUBJECT: COSTA COUNTY TO THE CITIZENS OF TAIPEI AND TAICHUNG COUNTY, OUR

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request that Supervisor Torlakson
extend the county's warmest greetings to the citizens of Taipei and
Taichung County, our sister county, and to do "everything possible" to
promote the economic and cultural exchange between the two countries .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In my capacity as President of the
Association of Bay Area Governments, I have been invited to join a
team from the United States to teach a seminar in Taipei in mid-May.
I will be working with federal officials of the Environmental
Protection Agency in a seminar on Environmental and Land Use Planning
from May 16 until May 19 . I will also be exploring possibilities for
export of American products--such as the pollution control vessels made
in Antioch--to Taiwan. ABAG is taking a more aggressive role in
economic development and is working with Bay Area cities to establish
a Trades Center.
With the assistance of former County Supervisor Robert
Schroder and the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, I am
making arrangements to visit Taichung County during the latter part of
my trip. I would be honored and pleased to extend the county's
heartiest greetings to the wonderful people of Taiwan, China.
