Carters State Department has taken it upon themselves to champion the cause of the Red Chinese by making sure the Communists are not put through the embarrassment of having Nationalist China in the 1980 winter Olympics. In a letter to Lord Killanin the State Department stated its resolution of the socalled problem of having both Communist China and Nationalist China in the Olympics: I . . we do not recognize as symbols of natdonal sovereignty the flag and anthem of the Republic of China. However. we do continue to make visa facilities available to travelers from Taiwan. What is going on here? I am glad that the State Department has found room in its heart to actually allow visa facilities to be available to travelers from Taiwan. What a great concession on the part of Mr. Carter to still let Americans travel to and from that nation.
