                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that all Chinese people, including 
   the people of Taiwan, deserve to be represented in international 
                             institutions.

Whereas the people of Taiwan enjoy a free economy with the 19th largest gross 
        domestic product in the world yet that economy, due to political 
        difficulties, is not represented in world economic fora;
Whereas the people of Taiwan have the 14th largest trade economy in the world 
        and the 7th largest amount of foreign investment in the world and hold 
        one of the largest amounts of foreign exchange reserves in the world;
Whereas the people of Taiwan are committed to the economic and political norms 
        of the international community;
Whereas the denial of representation to the people of Taiwan from international 
        institutions weakens the ability of those institutions to speak for all 
        the people of our world and is unfair to the people of Taiwan; and
Whereas such representation would not affect the international legal status of 
        the people of Taiwan or of China: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that it should be United States 
policy to support the representation of all Chinese people, including 
the people of Taiwan, in international institutions.
