呂秀蓮抵檀島僑界歡迎

【本報記者高振華檀香山報導】中華民國副總統呂秀蓮7日抵達檀香山國際機場，正式展開「蓮華專案／民主太平洋之旅」第一站

駐美代表程建人與駐檀香山台北經濟文化辦事處處長王樂生親自上機迎接，夏威夷州經濟旅遊發展廳廳長劉恩博也代表州長琳達‧林格接機，美國聯邦政府特別給予國賓式的禮遇通關，並由禮賓車隊在警車前後引導駛往下榻旅館。

夏威夷僑界各社團在旅館門外歡迎，僑界代表所呈獻的夏威夷花環幾乎豪鴔f秀蓮的頭頂，讓她感受到夏威夷僑界的熱情，她並在獻花後親自走到歡迎行列與眾人握手致謝。

雖然經過一夜的長途跋涉，呂秀蓮並未有絲毫倦容，隨即在旅館接見僑團代表垂詢僑界情況並代表陳水扁總統慰問僑胞。台灣同鄉會與全僑聯盟理監事都對呂秀蓮不辭辛勞出國參訪，為台灣外交努力打拼而表欽佩之意。

據了解，雖受到北京抗議，但呂秀蓮在夏威夷的行程並未變更太多，7日上午11時前往夏威夷大學東西中心拜會代理主任Nancy Lewis聽取該智庫的簡報，下午3時前往珍珠港及密蘇里艦參觀憑弔，晚間接受僑界的歡迎晚宴，8日上午在旅館接見美國國會議員李碩與夏威夷州長林格，下午搭車參觀市中心及前往波里尼西亞中心，9日上午抵達洛杉磯繼續「民主太平洋之旅」。

台灣的副總統呂秀蓮於七日抵達檀香山訪問，預訂停留兩天。七日檀香山時間下午三時呂副總統在下榻酒店太子旅館接見了夏威夷州長琳達林格(Linda Lingle) 雙方曾就對推廣旅遊與婦女運動交換了許多看法。

夏州長林格女士為夏州創州以來首位女州長。因此她對台灣來的女副總統特別有親切感。林格州長久任夏州長後與台灣的關係曾有很大的突破，幾個月前台北市長馬英九來夏州參加一項研討會，林格州長也親自接見了馬市長。她對推動台灣與夏州之間的旅遊一向非常重視。

此次呂副總統訪問夏威夷，有十餘位台灣的旅遊業負責人隨團同來，加上呂副總統行前曾公開表示此行為民主太平洋之旅，因次其在檀期間的活動都與旅遊和推動民主太平洋理念有關。

七日上午十一時，呂秀蓮一行首先前往位於夏威夷大學馬諾亞校園內的東西中心訪問，東西中心是美國國會於一九六零成立的東西文化交流研究機構。呂副總統一行受到東西中心代理校長Nancy Davis Lewis及教職員們熱烈的歡迎。呂秀蓮表示，東西中心成立的理念與她正積極推動成立“民主太平洋聯盟” 的想法相近，她並邀請東西中心的教職員及訪問學者們參加九月中旬將在台北舉辦的第一屆民主太平洋大會。

下午四時十五分，呂秀蓮一行人首先坐船到珍珠港亞歷桑納戰艦去參訪，並對二次世界大戰陣亡將士致敬。下午五時轉到停泊在珍珠港的密蘇里艦訪問，美國海軍特派專人接待，並作特別的介紹與解說。呂秀蓮參觀軍艦並在日本投降簽名處簽名留念。密蘇里艦長贈送一紀念牌與呂副總統，呂副總統致謝後離開密蘇里艦，返回檀島參加此間僑胞的歡迎餐會。來自檀島台灣同鄉會、台灣商會、慈濟會、佛光會、華人聯誼會、國建會、榮光會、越棉寮華人聯誼會等二百多位僑胞熱情出席。

八日上午呂秀蓮在下榻的太子旅館接見夏威夷州州議會長佘貴人(Calvin Say) 聽取佘貴人有關夏威夷州觀光發展現況及策略，佘貴人為華裔。隨後呂秀蓮轉赴阿拉晏拿大道300號聯邦大樓，拜會見有華人血統的民主黨聯邦參議員李碩(Daniel Akaka) 。李碩參議員親切接待呂副總統，相談甚歡。

八日下午，呂秀蓮一行前往位於檀島北海岸的波里內西亞文化村訪問。波里內西亞文化村亦為檀島旅遊重點之一，該地設有七個文化村代表，太平洋地區七個不同的族裔聚集在一起。他們在村內展出不同的文化用品，及表演歌舞節目，遊客在該地是可逍遙一整天。訪問波里內西亞文化村可說結合了呂秀蓮來夏威夷旅遊和推動民主太平洋理念的高潮。

八月九日上午，呂秀蓮一行將繼續轉往洛杉磯訪問，繼續追求其推廣旅遊和推動民主太平洋理念的美夢。

Officers and Directors of Hawaii Chinese Association met with the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce for dinner and fellowship at the Hong Kong Harbor View Seafood Restaurant

February 17, 2003

Hawaii: Lily Lee Chen, First Chinese Lady Mayor in America, Former Mayor of Monterey Park, California and Member, Board of Governors, East-West Center has met with more than 200 Chinese Community Leaders including our (Hawaii Chinese Association) President Judy Liu and many Board of Directors. During the hour long talk, she has spoken on the struggle of Chinese in the USA, the need to collaborate with other minority groups including but not limit to Hispanic, Japanese and Blacks, to focus on issues affecting Chinese in the United States, get involve and participate in the political process to become a registered voter. She has used the Jewish organizations as examples on their efforts to develop glass root support for the Jewish state. There is a distinct difference between Jewish and Chinese organizations. Jewish organizations are few but focus, thousands of members working together to support a common goal. Chinese organizations are many, seldom worked together for a common goal.

In 1982, when Vincent Chin was clubbed to death by two unemployed autoworkers and gotten no jail time by the judge. It was the Japanese American Organizations took the lead to fight for justice. In 1950s, during the Korean War, Congress was in the work to intern Chinese like what they did to the Japanese in case of war between China and USA, it was the Japanese American Organizations that worked to defeat the measure.
