Congress at his request by over
whelming majorities. He called
it a step for peace in the war;
charged Orient.
1--WE are ready Mr.. Eisen-
hover said after the signing, Ito
support a United Nations effort
to end the present hostilities in
the area, but we also are united
in our determination to defend
an area vital to the security of
the United States and the Free
World"
Mr.. Eisenhower, Secretary of
State Dulles and the Joint Chiefs
of Staff had already worked out
orders for initial use of the new
authority.
Informants said the first
problem was use of the United
States 7th Fleet with air cover
for evacuation of the division of
Chinese Nationalist troops from
the Tachen Islands, and that
this operation would now pro-
ceed.
The President read a state
ment after affixing his signature
at 8:42 am. to the Joint Con-
gressionals = Resolution for the
Defense of Formosa. He stressed
both the warlike and the peace
full aspects of the unprecedented
action, which began Monday
when he asked Congress to in
dorse his Formosa policy and
establish beyond question his
power to carry it out.
The House first approved the
joint Resolution Tuesday by q
vote of 1923. Then Friday
night. after a bitter argument
over the extent Of the Presi-
dents powers and whether he
could order a preventive war;
against Communist China. the
Senate adopted the resolution
85-3.
Under it, Mr.. Eisenhower now
has clear authority through his
own constitutional powers and
from Congress to use American
armed forces to defend Formosa
against any attack on the island
itself or on any island OF the
Red China shore. He also has
authority to use American forces
against any concentration Of
troops assembled on the Com
munist mainland for the pre-
sumed purpose Of invading
Formosa.
The evacuation of the Tachen
Islands 200 miles north of For
mosa will involve grave risks OF
some American losses. admins
tration officials believe. and so
will the redeployment of Chang
Kai-shek's forces to Formosa
or to such key offshore positions
as the Quemoys and Matsus.r 1t
was understood here that Ameri-
can pilots will have the right OF
"hot pursuit" If Chinese jets at
tack and then run back over the
China mainland, a right denied
them during the Korean War.
The Eisenhower administration
apparently felt no sense OF
emergency as result of the sign
ing of the resolution and the
imminence of 7th Fleet opera
tions under 1t.
