It is the sense of the Congress that— the United States policy toward Taiwan is based upon the Taiwan Relations Act ( Public Law 96–8 ), which was enacted in 1979, and the Six Assurances given by President Ronald Reagan in 1982; provision of defensive weapons to Taiwan should continue as mandated in the Taiwan Relations Act; and enhanced trade relations with Taiwan should be pursued to mutually benefit the citizens of both countries.
