Eisenhower Signs
Resolution for
Formosa Defense
WASHINGTON, l^i—President
Eisenhower Saturday signed the
resolution for defense of Formosa,
asserting at is evidence of United
American determination to “re
sist Communist aggression” in an
area “vital to the security” of the
United States.
The President signed in the
presence of congressional leaders
and Secretary of State Dulles less
than 12 hours after the Senate
sent the resolution to him by an
85-3 vote.
The action cleared the way for
Eisenhower to use American
armed forces—notably the 7th
Fleet—against any Red Chinese
attack directed toward Formosa.
It also gives him authority to
order the armed forces to evacu
ate Chinese Nationalist troops
from the Tachen Islands.
The authority to fight also in
cludes the right to defend such
places as the islands of Quemoy
and Matsu, off the Chinese main
land, if the President considers
them essential to Formosan secur
ity. Some regard it as broad
enough to permit him to order an
attack on bases or troop concen
trations on the Red Chinese main
land as a defense measure.
The President completed the
signing with more than a dozen
items which he later passed out to
the congressional leaders.
He said he was deeply gratified
by the almost unanimous vote in
Congress .on the joint resolution,
and said it showed the United
States is determined to help a
brave ally and resist Communist
aggression.
Only Senators Langer (R-ND),
Lehman (D-lib-NY>, and Morse
<ind-Ore> voted “no” on final
passage.
