Whereas over the past two decades, the people of Taiwan

Whereas most of these prosecutions were politically moti-
vated, in an apparent pattern of political score-settling; 
Whereas the health of former President Chen, who is serving

the past two years; 
Whereas concerned foreign dignitaries and human rights ac-

former President Chen in jail since the summer of 2012; 
Whereas former President Chen has not been able to receive 
adequate medical treatment in accordance with his wish-

not been able to have complete access to his medical 
records; and 
Whereas section 2(c) of the Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 
3301(c)) declares that ‘‘[t]he preservation and enhance-
ment of the human rights of all the people of Taiwan are 
hereby reaffirmed as objectives of the United States.’’: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress urges the Government of Tai-

Whereas the housing needs of the population will change as
