The Taiwan Travel Act ( Public Law 115–135 ; 132 Stat. 341) states that it should be the policy of the United States to allow officials at all levels of the United States government, including Cabinet-level national security officials, general officers, and other executive branch officials, to travel to Taiwan to meet their Taiwan counterparts. Pursuant to the policy described in the Taiwan Travel Act, the Secretary of Defense should send a Secretary of a military department or a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Taiwan for the purpose of senior-level defense engagement.
Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall brief the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives on any plans of the Department to carry out senior-level defense engagement.
