Republican and Democratic

nal resolution but are support
ing a revised text which is
stated in more affirmative Ian
guage.
The new resolution puts Con-
gress on record as supporting
President Kennedy lin his af-
firmation that the United
States will continue to meet it's

of China on Formosa and will
also oppose either admitting
Communist China to the U. N.
or according diplomatic recog-
milton to the Red regime.
