Carter plan on Taiwan draws fire from two chairmen
House International Relations Chair Clement Zablocki calls Carter’s proposed American Institute for Taiwan a facade and urges a U.S. liaison office. Senate Foreign Relations Chair Frank Church complains of missing security assurances and presses for a rider on peaceful resolution of Taiwan issues. Carter says he will veto any legislation violating the U.S. Peking accord. The plan creates an American Institute to handle aid and trade with Taiwan after embassy closure, funded at two million dollars annually, without Marine guards or diplomatic powers.
