Whereas United States relations with Taiwan are carried out

ant to the TRA; 
Whereas, in 1982, President Ronald Reagan further clarified

Whereas the TRA and the Six Assurances are cornerstones 
of United States policy with respect to Taiwan; 
Whereas the TRA and the Six Assurances have been essential
