Senator MURKOWSKi and I recently introduced Senate Resolution 210. expressing the support of the Senate regarding democratic reforms and human rights on Taiwan. Another action that I hope the Taiwan authorities will consider is to open further borders to those TaiwaneseAmericans or Taiwanese citizens residing abroad who wish to return to Taiwan. I receive many requests from individuals who wish to return but are frustrated because the Taiwan authorities refuse to grant them visas. fearing I gather to hear their statements in favor of democratic change in Taiwan. Indeed. most recently these restrictions were applied to former Attorney General Ramsay Clark whose visa was retracted while in midpassage to Taiwan to observe the trial of an individual charged with sedition. This type of action does not encourage Taiwans friends. I hope that Decembers elections will be followed by additional liberalizing measures. indicating to all that the winds of democracy are truly blowing throughout Taiwan.
