CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that Dr. Doan Viet
Hoat is to be praised and honored for his commitment
to fight for democratic change in Vietnam.
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat spent his life fighting for demo-
cratic change in Vietnam and has spent 19 of the last 21
years in Vietnamese prisons for his efforts to bring de-
mocracy to his homeland;
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat, an educator, received a doctorate
in Education and College Administration from Florida
State University in 1971 and was Assistant to the Chan-
cellor of Van Hanh University in Saigon from 1971 to
1975;
•HCON 51 IH
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat was denounced for his relationship
with the United States and sentenced in 1976 to 12
years in Chi Hoa Prison without a trial, where he contin-
ued to write essays calling for democracy, human rights,
and free elections for Vietnam;
Whereas after his release from prison, Doan Viet Hoat
founded the Dien Dan To Do (Freedom Forum) news-
letter and continued to publish prodemocracy articles;
Whereas in 1990, the Vietnamese authorities sentenced him
to a 20-year prison sentence for attempting to overthrow
the government by establishing a political organization
and using the publication as an instrument to mobilize
the public;
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat received the Robert F. Kennedy
Human Rights Award and the Golden Pen of Freedom
Award of the World Association of Newspapers for his
contributions to the cause of freedom;
Whereas for nearly 20 years as a political prisoner, Doan
Viet Hoat has been an example of great moral strength
and courage for other political prisoners, refusing offers
of freedom in exchange for a renunciation of his personal
and political beliefs;
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat was released on August 29, 1998,
from prison in Vietnam, and was admitted to the United
States as a refugee after considerable pressure was ex-
erted upon the Vietnamese Government to release pris-
oners of conscience;
Whereas Doan Viet Hoat called for the abolishment of the di-
rective on ‘‘administrative detainment’’ which allows se-
curity forces to detain dissidents for up to 2 years with-
out trial; and
•HCON 51 IH
Whereas Dr. Doan Viet Hoat has dedicated his entire life to
the cause of freedom and democracy for his fellow Viet-
namese, at the price of his own freedom: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that
Doan Viet Hoat is to be praised and honored for his con-
tributions to the cause of democracy in Vietnam.

Whereas when the Taiwan Relations Act was enacted in
1979, it affirmed that the United States decision to es-
tablish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of
China was based on the expectation that the future of
Taiwan would be determined by peaceful means;
Whereas officials of the People’s Republic of China refuse to
renounce the use of force against democratic Taiwan;
Whereas the recent accelerated defense modernization and
weapons procurement efforts by the People’s Republic of
China, as documented in the February 1, 1999, report by
the Secretary of Defense on ‘‘The Security Situation in
the Taiwan Strait’’, could threaten cross-strait stability
and United States interests in the Asia-Pacific region;
Whereas the Taiwan Relations Act provides explicit guaran-
tees that the United States will make available defense
articles and services necessary in such quantity as may
be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient
self-defense capability;
Whereas section 3(b) of the Taiwan Relations Act requires
timely reviews by United States military authorities of
Taiwan’s defense needs in connection with recommenda-

Whereas Congress and the President are committed by Arti-

which are discouraged or declined informally by Depart-
