此法案乃為

鼓勵美台兩國各級訪問，及為其他目的。

美國國會參議院和眾議院所通過頒布。

SECTION 1.  SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Taiwan Travel Act”.

第1節　簡短標題

本法可引稱為〈台灣旅遊法〉。

SEC. 2.  FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

第1節　發現。

國會發現如下：

(1)  The Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), enacted in 1979, has continued for 37 years to be a cornerstone of relations between the United States and Taiwan and has served as an anchor for peace and security in the Western Pacific area.

（1） 1979年頒布的〈台灣關係法〉（22 USC 3301等）已經持續37年，為美台關係的基石，也是西太平洋地區和平與安全的靠山。

(2)  The Taiwan Relations Act declares that peace and stability in the Western Pacific area are in the political, security, and economic interests of the United States and are matters of international concern.

（2） 〈台灣關係法〉宣示，西太平洋地區的和平與穩定符合美國的政治、安全和經濟利益，亦是國際關切的事項。

(3) The United States considers any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States.

（3）美國對通過非和平手段（包括抵制或禁運）來確定台灣未來的威脅，視為威脅到西太平洋地區的和平與安全，為美國所嚴重關切。

(4) Taiwan has succeeded in a momentous transition to democracy beginning in the late 1980s and has been a beacon of democracy in Asia, and Taiwan’s democratic achievements inspire many countries and people in the region.

（4）台灣於1980年代末成功地過渡到民主，從此一直是亞洲民主的燈塔，台灣的民主成就激發了本地區許多國家和人民。

(5)  Visits to a country by United States cabinet members and other high-ranking officials are an indicator of the breadth and depth of ties between the United States and such country.

（5）美國內閣成員和其他高級官員前往一個國家，是美國與這個國家之間關係的廣度和深度的指標。

(6)  Since the enactment of the Taiwan Relations Act, relations between the United States and Taiwan have suffered from insufficient high-level communication due to the self-imposed restrictions that the United States maintains on high-level visits with Taiwan.

（6）自〈台灣關係法〉制訂以來，由於受到美國對與高層互訪的自我設限，美台關係因而受損。

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

第1節　國會判斷；政策聲明

(a) Sense Of Congress.—It is the sense of Congress that the United States Government should encourage visits between officials from the United States and Taiwan at all levels.

（b）政策聲明 – 以下應成為美國的政策 -

(2) allow high-level officials of Taiwan to enter the United States, under conditions which demonstrate appropriate respect for the dignity of such officials, and to meet with officials of the United States, including officials from the Department of State and the Department of Defense and other cabinet agencies; and

(3) encourage the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office, and any other instrumentality established by Taiwan, to conduct business in the United States, including activities which involve participation by Members of Congress, officials of Federal, State, or local governments of the United States, or any high-level official of Taiwan.

（3）鼓勵台北經濟文化代表處和任何其他台灣設立的其他機構，在美國開展業務，包括與國會議員，美國聯邦，各州或地方政府官員的國家，或台灣任何高級官員相關之活動。
