Name Change from "TECRO" to "TRO"?

[david chou]

可能的TECRO Name Change

一

FAPA 南加州 Orange County Chapter 的Nicholas發了一則訊息給若干台美人鄉親與我, 由於我尚未閱讀"The Eagle Act"的 text, 所以他這則訊息對我很有幫助, 至少他提醒了我要趕緊follow國會這項立法行動, 我相信這則訊息對BATA的兄姊也會有幫助, 所以我現在把它張貼出來, 供各位兄姊參考:

HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE INCORPORATES TECRO NAME CHANGE PROVISION IN "EAGLE ACT"

FAPA President Minze Chien says: “The incorporation of the TECRO name change provision into the EAGLE Act is highly encouraging. The time is now to change TECRO’s name to “Taiwan Representative Office.” This new name, which can eventually be used all over the world, will lend more dignity and respect to Taiwan and its 23 million people.”

Several pro-Taiwan bills and provisions have been incorporated into a legislative package aimed at countering China's growing global influence that was reviewed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee on June 30 and July 1.

The HFAC held a two day mark-up hearing to debate and pass the “Ensuring American Global Leadership and Engagement (EAGLE) Act.”

The act was introduced by committee chairman Gregory Meeks on May 25 to "revitalize and reassert U.S. leadership, investment, and engagement in the Indo-Pacific region and globally" to counter China's growing ambitions.

Several recently proposed pro-Taiwan bills were (partly or completely) incorporated into the EAGLE Act, including the Taiwan Diplomatic Review Act, Taiwan Peace and Stability Act, and the Taiwan International Solidarity Act.

Taiwan Diplomatic Review Act asks the U.S. secretary of state to seek negotiations with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) to rename TECRO to “Taiwan Representative Office (TRO).”

Watch HFAC chairman Gregory Meeks (D-NY) announce the incorporation of the TECRO name change provision into the EAGLE Act in the attached clip.

我給Nicholas的回函如下:

Hi,Nick:

Thanks for the message you sent to me.

We could reasonably expect, I believe, to see Old Joe issue an Executive Order, like former President Bill Clinton did, by the end of this year to approve the name change from TECRO to TRO.

The Formosan people owe a great deal of gratitude to all the people and the organizations, including FAPA, in this joint effort.

Best regards,
