HR 1853 RFS 
SECTION 1. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE INTER-
NATIONAL 
CRIMINAL 
POLICE 
ORGANIZA-
TION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) Safety, security and peace is important to 
every citizen of the world, and shared information 
ensuring wide assistance among police authorities of 
nations for expeditious dissemination of information 
regarding criminal activities greatly assists in these 
efforts. 
(2) Direct and unobstructed participation in the 
International 
Criminal 
Police 
Organization 
(INTERPOL) is beneficial for all nations and their 
police authorities. Internationally shared information 
with authorized police authorities is vital to peace-
keeping efforts. 
(3) With a history dating back to 1914, the role 
of INTERPOL is defined in its constitution: ‘‘To 
ensure and promote the widest possible mutual as-
sistance between all criminal police authorities with-
in the limits of the laws existing in the different 
countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declara-
tion of Human Rights.’’. 
(4) Ongoing international threats, including 
international networks of terrorism, show the ongo-

ing necessity to be ever inclusive of nations willing 
to work together to combat criminal activity. The 
ability of police authorities to coordinate, preempt, 
and act swiftly and in unison is an essential element 
of crisis prevention and response. 
(5) Taiwan maintained full membership in 
INTERPOL starting in 1964 through its National 
Police Administration but was ejected in 1984 when 
the People’s Republic of China (PRC) applied for 
membership. 
(6) Nonmembership prevents Taiwan from 
gaining access to INTERPOL’s I–24/7 global police 
communications system, which provides real-time in-
formation on criminals and global criminal activities. 
Taiwan is relegated to second-hand information from 
friendly nations, including the United States. 
(7) Taiwan is unable to swiftly share informa-
tion on criminals and suspicious activity with the 
international community, leaving a huge void in the 
global crime-fighting efforts and leaving the entire 
world at risk. 
(8) The United States, in the 1994 Taiwan Pol-
icy Review, declared its intention to support Tai-
wan’s participation in appropriate international or-

the court may stay the rule or grant such other relief as
it deems appropriate.
‘‘(7) In making any determination or granting any
relief authorized by this subsection, the court shall take
due account of the rule of prejudicial error.
‘‘(b) In an action for the judicial review of a rule,
any regulatory flexibility analysis for such rule (including
an analysis prepared or corrected pursuant to subsection
(a)(5)) shall constitute part of the whole record of agency
action in connection with such review.
‘‘(c) Nothing in this section bars judicial review of
any other impact statement or similar analysis required
by any other law if judicial review of such statement or
analysis is otherwise provided by law.’’.

by paragraph (1) shall take effect on the date of en-
actment of this Act, except that the judicial review
