Whereas, the World Health Organization (WHO) set forth in the first chapter of its charter the objective of attaining the highest possible level of health for all people; and
Whereas, the achievements of Taiwan, the Republic of China, in the field of health are substantial, including one of the highest life expectancy levels in Asia, maternal and infant mortality rates comparable to those of western countries, the eradication of such infectious diseases as cholera, smallpox, and the plague, and the first to eradicate polio and provide children with Hepatitis B vaccinations; and
Whereas, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its Taiwanese counterpart have enjoyed close collaboration on a wide range of public health issues; and
Whereas, in recent years Taiwan has expressed a willingness to assist financially and technically in international health activities supported by the WHO; and
Whereas, direct, unobstructed participation in international health forums and programs is critical to limit the spread of various infectious diseases and achieve world health; and
Whereas, the United States House of Representatives and Senate authorized the Secretary of State to endorse observer status for Taiwan at the World Health Assembly; and
Whereas, President Bush and senior members of his administration have vocalized support for Taiwan’s participation in the WHO; now, therefore, be it
