19 (3) The Taiwan Relations Act also states that 

20 ‘‘it is the policy of the United States to provide Tai21 wan with arms of a defensive character and to main22 tain the capacity of the United States to resist any 

23 resort to force or other forms of coercion that would 

24 jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 

25 system, of the people on Taiwan’’.

17 (8) The transfer of such naval vessels will con18 tribute to United States interests in promoting in19 creased maritime awareness to support security and

1 (1) Thailand was the first treaty ally of the 

2 United States in the Asia-Pacific region and remains 

3 a steadfast friend of the United States.

6 improved the security of both countries, particularly 

7 by facilitating joint counterterrorism efforts. 

8 (3) For more than 30 years, Thailand has been 

9 the host country of Cobra Gold, the United States 

10 Pacific Command’s annual multinational military

16 Maritime Forces, a multi-national naval partnership 

17 consisting of 30 nations operating in and around the

19 (5) With the assistance of the Royal Thai 

20 Navy’s Counter Piracy Task Group, CTF 151 is 

21 helping to expressly disrupt and suppress piracy, 

22 protect all vessels in the region and secure their free 

23 navigation. 

24 (6) The Royal Thai Navy is also participating 

25 in the multilateral Malacca Straits patrols with 
10 

•HR 3470 EH

1 other regional partners to promote maritime safety

4 authorized under section 202 will support enhanced 

5 interoperability between the Royal Thai Navy and 

6 United States Navy forces. 

7 (8) The transfer of such naval vessels under8 scores the United States commitment to United 

9 States-Thai relations and to peace and security in
