FAPA will not cease its efforts to promote Taiwan in the US Congress, and to improve and maintain Taiwan-US relations. Let us march for Taiwan this spring.

FAPA曾在日前撰文討論到台灣旅行法的法律位階、立法速度和兩黨支持度，如同我們相信，該法在參院委員會通過後不到三個禮拜，馬上送入參院全院，火速討論表決，以無異議高度共識通過，完成國會立法。接續在近期內一定要送交白宮給總統簽字，就會成為美國的國內法。

Several Taiwanese civic groups have launched the Team Taiwan Campaign for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, calling for a referendum aimed at replacing the clumsy title of “Chinese Taipei” used at the Olympic Games and other international sporting events with the straightforward name “Taiwan.”

台灣民間團體發起「二○二○東京奧運台灣正名公投」，希望以「台灣」之名取代現今在奧會或許多國際比賽中拗口的稱謂；而在美國的台美人則發起將台灣政府在華府的「台北經濟文化代表處」正名為「台灣代表處」，不但顯示出台灣人的心聲，也是國際上的認同。

這次的台灣旅行法，不僅法律位階提高、兩黨高度共識，並已經在眾院無異議通過。在挺進參院委員會後，要完成立法就剩最後一步了。

We therefore recommend that the US administration dispatch US Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao (趙小蘭) to Taiwan to oversee US-Taiwan civil aviation cooperation, especially in areas where Taiwan and the US need to coordinate on ICAO standards and routinize information exchanges.
