This study examines the passage of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, which defined U.S.-Taiwan relations after the United States' diplomatic recognition of China. It analyzes how President Carter's original legislation was shaped after extensive hearings, lengthy debates, and sharp disagreement in Congress and eventually achieved broad consensus.
