Connolly議員のスピーチ全文がある。
興味深いのは台湾関係法ができる時国務省次官補のWarren Christopherが中国は台湾を攻撃する気はない、と断言した事だ。もしやコミンテルン？1979年だ。台湾関係法は当初台湾の安全保障が入っていなかった！
"When the Carter administration proposed the executive branch’s draft of a Taiwan Relations Act, it lacked several of the key provisions that we now most associate with the act itself, including provisions related to Taiwan’s security. This is kind of extraordinary. On February 5th, 1979, then-Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher testified before our committee in support of the administration’s draft bill. He told Congress not to worry about Taiwan’s security because, quote, “Any effort by the People’s Republic of China to resolve the Taiwan issue by other than peaceful means would be inconsistent with its evident desire to have better relations with the U.S. and our allies and friends,” unquote."
"He also went on to assure Congress that, quote, “The People’s Republic of China does not have the military capability to invade Taiwan and has not attempted to acquire that capability.” Wouldn’t you like to eat those words?"
