“The concerns about sovereignty by the People's Republic of China ought not to take precedence over public health, certainly not over the health of children in Taiwan. Taiwan's access to the resources of the World Health Organization is a matter of morality. I am thrilled that we are making this common sense step forward, putting good judgment and public policy ahead of politics. This is a very, very welcome resolution to support, it is sound foreign policy for the United States, and it reflects the best in bipartisanship in this Congress as we close our session. The solid work of the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bereuter) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Brown), in particular, working across the aisle, is very much to be commended, and I strongly support this resolution.”
