A BILL

To encourage visits between the United States and Taiwan at all levels, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

為鼓勵各級美台之間的訪問和其他目的。由美國參議院和美國眾議院在國會中制訂，

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Taiwan Travel Act”. 本法得引用為《台灣旅行法》。

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following: 國會認定如下：

(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 et seq。）已經延續了37年，成為美國與台灣關係的基石，成為西太平洋地區和平與安全的支柱。

(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》聲明，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，是國際關心的問題。

(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）美國認為，以非和平手段，包括抵制或禁運，對西太平洋地區的和平與安全構成威脅，對美國的嚴重關切，決定台灣的未來。

(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）台灣自八十年代後期以來，已經成功地邁向民主，成為亞洲民主的燈塔，台灣的民主成就激勵了本地區的許多國家和人民。

(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訪問一個國家是美國和這個國家聯繫廣度和深度的指標。

(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》頒布以來，由於美國對台高層互訪的自行限制，美台關係高層溝通不足，
