Senate to have a role in any official
decision to end a defense treaty.
The resolution was written in gen
eral terms, but clearly aimed at pre
venting the 1954 U.S.-Taiwan de
fense pact from lapsing.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.,
recently filed suit in federal district
court to stop the termination of the
U. S. -Taiwan pact.
At the State Department, Secre
tary of State Cyrus Vance told a con
ference on trade with China and
Taiwan the administration is moving
ahead on plans to create a private
corporation to handle relations with
Taiwan on an informal basis.
The corporation is to he known as
“The American Institute.
The administration also is de
veloping legislation to extend in
formally 60 executive agreements
and treaties with Taiwan.
“With these new arrangements in
place, we expect Taiwan to continue
to prosper,” Vance told the busi
nessmen.
All these proposals will be re
ferred to the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee, which plans ex
tensive hearings. Aides said
Monday an effort will be made to
craft two bills — one dealing with
Taiwan’s security and the other on
trade relations.
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, just
back from a trip to China, told a
news conference Peking is willing to
accord Taiwan “full autonomy,” but
their ideas seemed to go “more to
appearances” than to any substan
tive change in the present situation.
He said China’s apparent price for
“full autonomy” is to lower the Na
tionalist Chinese flag, raise the
Communist flag, and declare
Taiwan part of the People’s Repub
lic of China.
