gress, and S. 2092 in the 108th Congress to direct

and to report annually to Congress on, efforts to ob-
tain observer status for Taiwan at the WHA. Con-
gress also passed H.R. 1151 in the 113th Congress,

gain observer status for Taiwan at the ICAO Assem-
bly, and H.R. 1853 in the 114th Congress, directing 
the Secretary to report on a strategy to gain ob-
server status for Taiwan at the INTERPOL Assem-

tions to attend any of these events as an observer.
