1ST SESSION
H. CON. RES. 166
Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to Taiwan’s membership
in the United Nations and other international organizations.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 14, 1993
Mr. TORRICELLI (for himself, Mr. DEUTSCH, Mr. DORNAN, Mr. GEJDENSON,
and Mr. TAUZIN) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to Tai-
wan’s membership in the United Nations and other inter-
national organizations.
Whereas the Republic of China was one of the founding mem-
bers of the United Nations in 1945;
Whereas at the end of the civil war in China in 1949 the
Kuomindang nationalists were defeated and moved their
Republic of China government to the island of Taiwan;
Whereas the governments in both Beijing and Taipei claim
that they represent all of China, including Taiwan;
Whereas on December 15, 1978, the United States and the
People’s Republic of China released a joint communique
that announced a switch in United States diplomatic rec-
ognition from Taipei to Beijing;
•HCON 166 IH
Whereas that joint communique also stated that ‘‘the United
States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other un-
official relations with the people of Taiwan’’;
Whereas on December 15, 1978, in a unilateral statement re-
leased concurrently with that joint communique, the
United States stated that it ‘‘continues to have an inter-
est in the peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue’’;
Whereas on April 10, 1979, President Carter signed into law
the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96–8), effective as
of January 1, 1979, which created a domestic legal au-
thority for the conduct of unofficial relations with Tai-
wan;
Whereas since January 1, 1979, the United States, in accord-
ance with the Taiwan Relations Act, has continued the
sale of selected defense articles and defense services to
Taiwan;
Whereas in spite of its economic achievements and significant
role in the world economy and in world affairs, Taiwan
does not have representation in the United Nations or in
other international organizations;
Whereas the people of Taiwan have, through their elected leg-
islators, expressed a strong desire to join the United Na-
tions and other international organizations; and
Whereas the participation of the people on Taiwan in the
United Nations and in other international organizations
would further enhance the peace, security, and stability
in the Pacific and is in the best interests of the United
States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
•HCON 166 IH
21,000,000 people on Taiwan should be represented in the
United Nations and in other international organizations.

H. CON. RES. 168
Relating to the Republic of China on Taiwan’s rejoining the United Nations.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 19, 1993
Mr. ROHRABACHER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Relating to the Republic of China on Taiwan’s rejoining
the United Nations.
Whereas China has been a divided nation since 1949, and the
Government of the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC)
and the People’s Republic of China on the Chinese main-
land have since exercised exclusive jurisdiction over sepa-
rate parts of China;
Whereas United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758
(1971) does not constitute a conclusive settlement of the
issue of China’s seat in the United Nations resulting
from the division of China;
Whereas the Government of the ROC acknowledges that two
equal and distinct political entities exist within divided
China;
HCON 168 IH
Whereas the Republic of China is currently the fourteenth
largest trading nation in the world; its gross national
product is the world’s twentieth largest; its annual per
capita income exceeds US$10,000; its foreign exchange
reserves exceed US$80,000,000,000; and has become the
world’s seventh largest investor outside its own borders;
Whereas twenty-one million Chinese people on Taiwan enjoy
the benefits of democracy and a free market economy;
Whereas the Republic of China has actively joined other na-
tions in responding to international disasters and crises;
has undertaken assistance programs for less-developed
nations; and has in other ways fulfilled regional and
global responsibilities;
Whereas the ROC has already joined several important multi-
national organizations in recent years, including Asia/Pa-
cific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Asian Devel-
opment Bank, and its admission into these organizations
has been supported by the United States;
Whereas a consensus to rejoin the United Nations has
emerged in the Republic of Taiwan, and the ROC Gov-
ernment has launched a campaign to pursue full member-
ship in the United Nations without prejudice to the cur-
rent position of the People’s Republic of China in the
United Nations;
Whereas, there is precedence for parallel representation for
divided nations in the United Nations. Both North and
South Korea are United Nations members, as were East
and West Germany; and
Whereas ROC membership in the United Nations is in con-
formity with the United Nations principal of universality
and will contribute to the peace and stability of the Pa-

Calling on the President to work to convene an international

Whereas attempts to bring about a permanent cessation of

through negotiations have yet to be successful;
Whereas horrible atrocities continue to be committed against
