House Takes Up Formosa Defense Plan Under Rush Rule
The House moved quickly to consider a Formosa defense measure with a three hour debate limit and no amendments. The Foreign Affairs Committee reported unanimous approval and the Joint Chiefs of Staff endorsed swift action to deter Chinese aggression, enabling potential U S strikes against the mainland if President Eisenhower deems it necessary for Formosa and the nearby Pescadores Islands. The plan marks a possible shift in military stance from earlier opposition to invasion bases. Only about 90 of 435 members were present as large gallery sections stood empty. Republican leaders expected a swift move after a White House briefing.
