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.
