                     GREATER RECOGNITION FOR TAIWAN

  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, on July 17, the European Parliament passed 
a resolution urging that Taiwan be granted greater recognition in 
international organizations, and calling for a study of the issues 
surrounding Taiwan's participation in the United Nations.
  I find this resolution both impressive and appropriate, Mr. 
President, and I fully agree that Taiwan deserves a greater role in 
international organizations. The Republic of China is a full democracy, 
with a remarkably successful economy. Furthermore, Taiwan plays an 
important role in world affairs.
  It is high time that Taiwan be accorded its well-deserved stature in 
international organizations.
  Mr. President, I find it gratifying that Taiwan has won this 
recognition aforementioned from the European Parliament, and I ask 
unanimous consent that the resolution be printed in the Record at the 
conclusion of my remarks.
  There being no objection, the resolution was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
