Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, May 16 (UPI) -- The United States is sending a four-member official delegation to attend Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian's inauguration.
The Taipei Times reported Sunday the U.S. delegation is smaller and by some measures less prominent than expected.
Rep. James Leach, chairman of the Asia and Pacific subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee, is leading the delegation. Other members include Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski, who was a leading Taiwan supporter in the U.S. Senate; William Brown, former deputy assistant secretary of state for Asia from 1983 to 1985; and American Institute in Taiwan Director Douglas Paal.
The Bush administration has been concerned Chen's reform program could alienate China and raise the specter of a move toward independence.
